Yeah I see what you mean., and I agree a lot. I got a TPM chip in my computer that I could use to encrypt my hard dsk but I will never use it as I don't have access to all the thing. In fact what i'm askig is for a special use case. My use case is that I provide an embedded computer running linux operating system, and I want to be sure that the all system that I can't remotly manage isn't corrupted to its task. In this case I'm in the case of the "Hostile party Bad Guy wanting to measure you" ;). I think TPM chip can only be used for that. Not for like they claim to give to classical user a trusted computer. I want to use it to trust MY computer used by another guy (that can be an attacker). (industry market, not consumer one) I think in this use case it is ehicaly correct as I try to measure and ensure my system is not corrupted. (Must be the only case where TPM chip are good at :) )
