Trustworthy Computing

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The term Trustworthy Computing (TwC) has been applied to computing systems that are inherently secure, available and reliable.

[edit] "Trusted" vs. "Trustworthy"

The terms Trustworthy Computing and Trusted Computing have distinct meanings. A given system can be trustworthy but not trusted and vice versa.^[1]

The Department of Defense defines a trusted system or component as one "one which can break the security policy",^[2]:24 and a trustworthy system or component as one "that will not fail".^{[citation needed]}
