Trusted Computing Platforms: TCPA Technology in Context

Summary

This chapter has described the specific needs and options that a remote entity (a challenger) is faced with when interacting with a TP. The benefits of such a challenge have been highlighted, in addition to consideration of each critical, necessary, and optional step involved in the challenge. Finally, a possible and practical scenario has been discussed that illustrates the requirements for integrating the challenge mechanism into existing protocols at a limited cost.
