Thanks AWK!
I am now wondering
if that e2100, trusted keyboard, which is a usb keyboard, operates independently or secondarilly of the TPM? Maybe the hub is being handled solely as an input/output device and is not needed to be handled by the TPM directly, but rather independently, as also would the card reader.
What do you think?
the best,
micro...

AWK.....Trusted USB Hub.

I found this ......seems to imply the Trusted USB
Hub is only for the keyboard & mouse which may be
a SSC chip that either lies in the keyboard or the
MB or somewhere in between.If it was in the keyboard
you would presumably have to plug the mouse into the
keyboard.....just a few thoughts:)




"Input is secured by a trusted USB hub, for the keyboard and mouse, that carries on a protectedconversation with the nexus. Output is secured by a trusted GPU that carries on a crypto-protectedconversation with the nexus. This gives us "fingertip to eyeball security"
