The best that can happen with TCPA is pretty good -
it could stop a lot of viruses and malware, for one

No, it can't. That's the point; it's not like the code running inside
the sandbox becomes magically exploitproof...it just becomes totally
opaque to any external auditor. A black h

components running inside a protected environment totally immune to

How? TCPA is only a cryptographic device, and some BIOS code, nothing
else. Does
