The　Trusted　Computing　Group　(TCG)　has　developed　specifications　for　computing　platforms　that　create　a　foundation　of　trust　for　software　processes,　based　on　credentials.　But　according　to　research　on　those　credentials,　we　found　management　of　those　credentials　is　too　complicated　to　implement,　and　the　complication　leads　to　underlying　insecurity.　The　paper　proposes　a　new　architecture　for　credentials,　making　use　of　the　EK　credential　and　platform　identity　credential　to　accomplish　the　trust　mechanism.　This　is　a　significant　improvement　on　the　previously　five　credentials　required　which　are　now　reduced　to　only　three.　The　proposal　provides　evidence　for　superiority　in　security　and　availability.
