"Remote attestation is useless unless.............."

From University of Sydney...blurb on TC

One of the requirements for Trusted Computing to work effectively is the wide-scale uptake of the technology. In the jargon, it must be ``ubiquitous', at least in some domain of computing (such as the banking domain) and preferably (from Microsoft's point of view) in all or almost all domains. Without ubiquity (at least in some domain), Trusted Computing will not have enough interoperability to be useful: in other words, without ubiquity services will fail because some component doesn't understand another (Trusted) component's messages. For example, remote attestation is useless unless many computers all trust the same attestation server.

Doma--Forget about your "Big Bucks per Seat" enterprise projections. Grantsdale is ALL about Entertainment PCs. Try finding one article that doesn't UNDERSCORE that fact.

S. Sprague has made it very clear that Trusted Computing will begin to accelerate toward ubiquity through the consumer and NOT the enterprise sector.

"So, so much of this we've learned and forgotten. Right? To go back in time, was the PC adopted by enterprise or consumer first? It was adopted by the consumer first."
