This section briefly highlights TCPA's objective, approach, and scope.
The objective of TCPA is “through the collaboration of platform, software, and technology vendors, [to] develop a specification that delivers an enhanced HW- and OS-based trusted computing platform that enhances customers' trusted domains” [TCPA, 2000a]. In particular, this will allow technology companies to offer more trusted and secure personal computers for conducting e-business.
The approach of TCPA is as follows:

Encourage software vendors to write programs that use the new hardware.
