'''Trusted Computing''' (commonly abbreviated '''TC''') is a technology developed and promoted by the [[Trusted Computing Group]] (TCG). The term is taken from the field of [[trusted system]]s and has a specialized meaning. In this technical sense, "trusted" does not necessarily mean the same as "trustworthy" from a user's perspective. Rather, it means that it can be trusted more fully to follow its intended programming with a lower possibility of inappropriate activities occurring that are forbidden by its designers and other software writers.
