Abstract
Information systems controlling critical infrastructures are vital elements of our modern society. Purely software-based protection techniques have demonstrated limits in fending off attacks and providing assurance of correct configuration. Trusted computing techniques promise to improve over this situation by using hardware-based security solutions. This paper introduces the foundations of trusted computing and discusses how it can be usefully applied to the protection of critical information systems.
