		 TRUSTED COMPUTING PLATFORMS

Microsoft Palladium (Pd) and TCPA are announced to be the
next-generation computing platforms, and claimed to improve users'
security. However, people are concerned about those capabilities of
TCPA/Pd that may allow content providers to gain too much power and
control over the use of digital content and users' private
information.

In this talk, we argue that TCPA/Pd can be used to improve end-user
security provided the controlling operating system is trustworthy.
We propose a new architecture of a trustworthy security platform
that uses TCPA/Pd hardware features in conjunction with an
open-source security kernel we have developed.  The design of the
security kernel prevents the misuse of the ``feared'' Digital Rights
Management (DRM) capabilities that might be provided by TCPA/Pd.
