If they do not restrict what programs I may run, then presumably, under
TCPA, I might run a cracking program on an encrypted file I obtained via
TCPA handshake+transmissal?

The claims that TCPA, Palladium, etc. do not give root to the Englobulators
is, on its face, ridiculous.  Their main design criterion is to do so.
