Are there any privacy concerns with using Platform Trust Services or other infrastructure specifications from TCG?
Consistent with the vision and practices of the TCG and its specifications, the PTS and other infrastructure specifications have been designed to preserve the privacy of users. Similar to the TPM case, users must specifically choose to opt-in deploying the PTS and other infrastructure functions. The PTS itself can be deployed without the TPM. The PTS vendors can implement administrative interfaces that allow control over the information that may be reported by the PTS, thereby ensuring user privacy. Finally, the PTS can be configured to perform only local verifications and thus privacy sensitive data can remain local to the platform. The PTS configuration should be driven by IT policies that will ensure that privacy sensitive values are not disclosed.
