> I'm yet to hear a reason for why I, as an user, should like to have a TC platform. When you are in control of the trusted keys loaded in your machine, this allows you -the computer user- to defend against several classes of attacks, including many Evil Maid attacks. Many Linux distros and most open source security software projects sign their releases for a really good reason. "Trusted Computing" takes this a step further by pushing this signature verification into a tamper-resistant part of the computer, and verifying everything on the system, including (on some systems) the bootloader and the UEFI firmware. It's only when the end-user doesn't have control of the trusted keys loaded into his computer that TC becomes something that can be used for great evil.
