2.8.8 Trusted Computing Platform

Question: How do we ensure no software transgresses digital rights?

Answer: By only allowing approved software to have access to the data.

• The basic computer and operating system must be running validated software.
• There must be an untamperable part of the computer/OS that can hold keys and hand over only to validated software.
• The untamperable part of the computer is the Fritz chip, a co-processor which holds a unique certificate that it is running some validated code.
