These specifications are directly relevant to the TPM in PCs today and represent the next phase of infrastructure support for the operations of the platforms containing the TPM. The TPM represents the trust anchor within the platform for the truthful reporting of the state of the platform. This feature is called “attestation” of the platform and represents a core value proposition of trustworthy computing. With the PTS specification, not only can the TPM be used to protect sensitive information, it can also be used to produce irrefutable reports (in a standardized format) regarding the TPM and the platform as a whole.
