Title:
EMPLOYMENT OF THE TRUSTED COMPUTING

Employment of the Trusted Computing Platform

The functionality provided by Trusted Computing platforms can be beneficially used by numerous applications. As Trusted Computing technologies are controversially discussed from the point of view of privacy and adverse effects for users (Anderson, 2003a; Anderson, 2003b) on account of their technical implementation, two cases of application are to be differentiated. In the first case, Trusted Computing is employed on the side of the user and in the second case the employment of Trusted Computing technology is limited to the employment on the server side by service providers.

In the following, employment on the part of the user is omitted. A series of additional problems from the point of view of the user are to be solved in this application case, but that no immediate advantages for the confidential processing of issued personal data emerge. The employment of Trusted Computing technology on the side of the server is considered in detail. This technology can be used here for the authentication of applications and services to convey valuable information to the user about the service provider and the behaviour of its applications concerning processing of personal data.
