Overview of Trusted Computing

Information technology has now become an integral part of people's lives, with daily activities and information retrieval conducted through computers and the internet. However, the computer and network space isn't always secure. On one hand, malicious viruses are spread to attack normal users, such as the outbreak in May 2017; on the other hand, many unscrupulous manufacturers "backdoor" their software, gaining access to users' privacy or popping up ads unnoticed. These pose significant challenges to maintaining information security in the cyber space. To ensure smooth activities on the internet through computers, we must establish a secure and reliable defense system to guarantee our computers provide stable services as expected.
