gollark: I don't actually like TPMs much because they're "trusted" by other people, and not the actual device owner.
gollark: I see.
gollark: Also, how does the interface work?
gollark: You also run into the problem that you couldn't cryptographically validate that something was signed by someone's brain-TPM-thing™ and not just a computer running the signature algorithm, unless you have some organization give it a certificate, which then gives them unreasonable amounts of power.
gollark: It's much easier to remember a sequence of random words than a long string of numbers, but if you want to operate on the wordy one you also need to store a big lookup table, which defeats the point.
