EE Times India recently published a rather interesting article on microkernels and why they are better than they are rated. From the trusted computing point of view, they say:
Reliability, in fact, is one of the microkernels’ greatest assets. The amount of code that must be fully trusted, the trusted computing base (TCB), is dramatically reduced.
They [...]

On the MyTriniPhone blog a person called “Pumpkin” from the iPhone development team was quoted as saying the following:
More FUD is spread by this undying rumor of “Palladium” (or TPM) being used fully on Apple’s devices, making it impossible for you “to play online with legit buyers.” This is nothing but uninformed nonsense, and while [...]

Quite frankly, I do raise a sceptical eyebrow whenever I hear China and Trusted Computing in the same sentence, but this is university work that will be peer reviewed, so perhaps I should not be so concerned.
EMC has joined a global research project on trust and assurance in cloud computing that includes four top technical [...]
