Trusted Computing Group

Trusted Computing is a category of technology developed and promoted by the Trusted Computing Group. The term is taken from the field of trusted systems.

Trusted Computing is the industry's answer to growing security problems in the enterprise and is based in a hardware root of trust. From this, enterprise systems, applications and networks can be made more secure.    With Trusted Computing, the computer or system will consistently behave in specific ways, and those behaviors will be enforced by hardware and software when the owner of those systems enables these technologies.

Trusted Computing technology will make computers safer, less prone to viruses and malware, and thus more reliable. In addition, Trusted Computing will allow computers systems to offer improved security and efficiency.
