I actually approached Kobeissi with this point in the meeting in Noisy Square right after the talk, suggesting he integrate a TPM into his key management system (like how you can call out to one in Firefox for SSL with libpkcs5.so or some similarly named library). He responded that the specs were open enough that anyone could add that in. As to a centralized place your guess is as good as mine. Also can MacBook users even access their TPMs?

Depending on who you're protecting against you might want to _really_ avoid trusting your TPM.

Yeah, I wouldn't trust the TPM - certainly not from a Windows machine, and not even an Apple one after the recent revelations/research, which shows Apple tries to make the device secure against "regular" hackers, but very easy to access by Apple itself or the US government.

My current one is from atmel in 2008, before atmel quit making them, so I figure at least in this case I'm safe. I would probably not use a newer one if I was worried about TLAs though. As I am currently in the market for an MBP, where do I find this information about Apple TPMs?

My bad, Apple pulled them in 2006.
