the big question is why does the nsa promote tc?
i think they must have a use for a chip that ties and reports computer use to robust identity information.
they just aren't in the privacy business.
so it is surely likely that they have injected us surveillance interests into the design.
if so, what a toxic thing a tpm is. part of a hardened spyware architecture.
this was always the underlying reason so many folks objected to tc in the first place. they said you can't trust providers with this kind of capability. seeing what nsa does more clearly, perhaps there was more than paranoia behind it.
what a mess.
it would mean the only enterprises that might be interested in adopting tc are the dod and its dependents.
