TCG Platform Certificates Certification Practice Statement (CPS)

NVIDIA doesn’t view a ”TCG platform certificate” as a certificate in the common usage of the word, but rather a signed X509 encoded piece of evidence as to the identities of the components in the system when leaving our factory. The primary value of a TCG platform certificate isn’t the endorsement of a cryptographic key, but the cryptographic binding together of component identities that make up a shipped system.

NVIDIA manages the keys that sign this evidence with the same level of security and care that we use in other similar applications such as identity certificate issuance.
