Hi all! A long-time lurker here. I'd like to point out the problem with TPM is that, since the "trust" chain originates with the manufacturer, or more accurately with whomever controls the manufacturer, you'll never be in complete control of the device. "Trusted computing" in this scenario means "can THEY trust YOUR computer to serve THEM and work against YOU"? If you can't change the key (all of them), or if you don't have the private key (all of them), you simply don't have control over the boot process, and if you don't have control over the boot process, you simply have no control over the machine whatsoever. The machine can and will turn against you when it's true masters order it to. Then there's the entire thing about "war against general computing". Etc. This all is generally discussed under the heading "technofeudalism". -- Svi moji e-mailovi su kriptografski potpisani. Proverite ih. All of my e-mails are cryptographically signed.
