Abstract
The trusted computing group (TCG) was formed in 2003 by AMD, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Intel and Microsoft as an open alliance to develop a solution to the issue of trust. The group has come up with an approach based on a combination of hardware and software, which it calls a trusted platform module (TPM). The TPM hardware is expressed in a chip that is built into the device it is protecting and that cannot be removed or swapped without such tampering becoming evident. The TPM chip holds user secrets, such as digital IDs and the private key parts of public/private key encryption pairs. It has platform configuration registers that can store information about software environment it is operating in and hardware for generating random numbers and performing cryptographic functions. Together these hardware functions and the software stack that gives access to them is designed to support a number of traditional security functions.
