Members include <a href="/facts/Intel/SMF0gJJX">Intel</a>, <a href="/facts/AMD/CB1G7QTb">AMD</a>, <a href="/facts/IBM/QszA7nwd">IBM</a>, <a href="/facts/Microsoft/nGIDDXdx">Microsoft</a>, and <a href="/facts/Cisco/ocDgQt6T">Cisco</a>. </p><p>The core idea of trusted computing is to give hardware manufacturers control over what software does and does not run on a system by refusing to run unsigned software. </p>
