Abstract
A pluggable trust architecture addresses the problem of establishing trust in hardware. The architecture has low impact on system performance and comprises a simple, user-supplied, and pluggable hardware element. The hardware element physically separates the untrusted components of a system from peripheral components that communicate with the external world. The invention only allows results of correct execution of software to be communicated externally.
