On the moral bankruptcy of the term "Trusted Computing" (2004)
- deleted 2y ago[deleted]
- JohnFen 2y agoI always took the "trust" in "trusted computing" to mean trust on the part of companies, not trust on the part of users. I think this little essay might explain why -- declaring it "trusted" means somebody trusts it, and since it was called that before users actually had such systems, that somebody wasn't the users. For me, it does not enhance trust overall. If offers increased protection from some vectors, but decreases it against others.
