Architecture of trusted PC

  • Trusted Architecture
  • Published:
Wuhan University Journal of Natural Sciences

Abstract

This paper, focusing on the trusted computing group's standards, explained the key concept of trusted computing and provided the architecture of trusted PC. It built trust bottom-up by starting with trusted hardware and adding layers of trusted software. It is a system-level solution available to all applications running on the member platforms. This solution reduces the security burden on applications and thus simplifies application programming.
