Abstract
The present automatic update mechanism provides a method for periodically checking for updates to support a trusted environment. During the periodic check, an indication from an update service is received if there is a recommended update. Upon receiving the indication, a new revocation list is downloaded from the update service and saved as a pending revocation list. The pending revocation list is then available for on-demand update when protected content requests a higher level of protection on a computing device than the protection provided by a current level of protection on the computing device.
