简介:
Trusted computing and digital rights management systems show great promise in corporate and governmental applications. These technologies are still in their infancy, being used only in a few highly-confidential environments, despite massive development efforts during the dot-com era. In most computing environments, confidentiality is less important than usability, flexibility, cost-effectiveness, availability, integrity, and auditability. With respect to these requirements, current designs for trusted computing and digital rights management systems are inappropriately focussed on confidentiality. We sketch a more appropriate design. Our design will make adequate provision for third-party assurance. It will avoid reliance on a single supplier. It will support a full range of interpersonal trusting relationships, not just the hierarchical-confidential relationship of a military or secret-service agency. We close our presentation with an appeal to develop an international standard for the use of trusted computing and digital rights management, based on New Zealand's recently-published principles and policies.
