I've been thinking about writing a few pages summarizing TCPA and how the crypto works, but then I think, why bother? Everyone is already convinced that the system is the spawn of Satan. Nobody cares about the facts.
This prejudice is caused by: 1. IP is already overprotected by the state, so any additional protection will meet with hostility. 2. Trusted computing is being brought to us by people we do not trust, accompanied by documents that fail to inspire trust. 3.
