Many of us on the Asylo team share your reservations about DRM. However, the capability to run software in a not-entirely-trustworthy environment leads to many positive possibilities. For instance, you could imagine a world in which customers didn’t have to trust their cloud vendor or worry about their data falling into unauthorized hands. Or you could implement chat applications which can prove to you that your communications really are being encrypted end-to-end.
In our view, trusted computing has applications well beyond DRM.
