Abstract

The most significant strategic development in information technology over the past year has been 'trusted computing'. This is popularly associated with Microsoft's 'Palladium' project, recently renamed 'NGSCB'. In this paper, I give an outline of the technical aspects of 'trusted computing' and sketch some of the public policy consequences.
