A co-worker of mine who developed TrouSerS (the OSS TPM library)
pointed out that equating ``Trusted Computing'' with ``Palladium,'' as
Schneier did in this article by making the term ``Trusted Computing''
link to an article on Palladium, followed immediately by a comment
about technology that tries to own people's computers. This detracts
from the legitimate (non-DRM) uses of hardware-assisted key
management.
Schneier should know better.
I've never been able to nail down a case of a non-evil use of this technology
that couldn't be done purely in software or with a much simpler piece of
hardware. Could you describe one or two, please? (And as to naming, you have
to admit that they've come up with a bewildering number of terms for everyone
to keep straight.)
