Palladium Cryptography is a software architecture that is a secure calculation foundation for the next generation. It offers a large number of security-related features, such as the rapid generation of random numbers, the keys to secure cryptography, making them difficult or almost impossible to recover. Microsoft's Palladium technology is groundbreaking in its PC security approach, using intelligent cryptography to absolutely minimize the number of secrets built into hardware, allowing hardware designers to focus on effectively securing a small set of data. Palladium is a transparent system that is based on the keys linked to the software firm of its nexus. Changing the nexus changes the signature and results in a new key space that is useless without established trust and yet can be the basis of an environment of trust if the trust is given. The hardware environment supported by Palladium, an evolution of the TCPA (Trusted Computing Platform Alliance) specification, provides a hardware anchor point that allows Palladium to strongly assert system reliability.
The architecture solves the problem of securing 30 million lines of Windows code by creating a separate protected environment in which Palladium components are run, linked to Windows through Palladium-specific application programming interfaces (APIs), further reducing Plus the scope of security-related operations. The Palladium nexus can be relatively small, incorporating only functions related to security. The architecture has another benefit in that the Windows operating system (OS) does not need a massive security revision, since sensitive applications can have their security component handled in the Palladium environment. This approach allows Windows to maintain its technological advancement speed and not cause any compatibility problems with existing software. On the other hand, security subsystems can move at the slower pace of secured software. Keep in mind, however, that the level of confidence that can be given to Windows without using Palladium technology has not changed.
