Draft:Trusted Computing Mechanism

The Trusted Computing Mechanism (TCM) is a security technology that employs hardware-based components to establish a trusted environment for cryptographic operations, key management, and system integrity verification. By isolating critical operations within a secure, hardware-based environment, TCM aims to protect sensitive data from tampering, unauthorized access, and cyber-attacks.

Developed as an alternative to models such as the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) and Multi-Party Computation (MPC), TCM offers a scalable, efficient solution, especially suited for cloud-based infrastructures. Its architecture enables the secure execution of sensitive operations, making TCM popular in sectors where data security and integrity are paramount, including finance, telecommunications, and government.
