Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art in respect to trusted platform module (TPM) unification in a trusted computing environment and provide a novel and non-obvious method, system and computer program product for trusted platform module data harmonization. In one embodiment of the invention, a TPM log harmonization method can include designating both a single master TPM for a master node among multiple nodes, and also a multiplicity of subsidiary TPMs for remaining ones of the nodes. The method further can include extending the single master TPM with a measurement representing a rendezvous operation for the nodes.
