NGSCB extends the Windows operating system to provide a set of new secure computing capabilities. NGSCB will not change anything in Windows, but rather will sit beside with the regular Windows environment. To make NGSCB possible, both the software and the hardware will evolve. On the hardware side, the CPU, chipset, USB I/O and GPU hardware components will be redesigned, and a new component will be added, called the Security Support Component (SSC). On the software side, a new operating system component will be added, called the nexus, along with some associated code to enable the NGSCB environment. Collectively, this software comprises the trusted computing base (TCB) for NGSCB.
