Abstract
The notion of a “trusted computing platform” centers, by definition, on trust. The appropriate stakeholders need to be able to trust the computation this platform carries out. However, as Section 1.1 introduced, the concept of “trust” is more nuanced than the naive way we in the security community often use the term. We need to worry about exactly what it is the stakeholder wishes to trust the platform to do. We need to worry about whether the platform is in fact worthy of that trust. Finally, we also need to worry about how it is the stakeholder knows that the platform is in fact worthy of this trust.
