+TCB stands for trusted computed base. Unqualified, the trusted
+computing base referrers to the set of components programs
+must [[trust]] to function correctly. On multiserver systems,
+it is sometimes more appropriate to speak of the trusted computing
+base of a particular program: as components are much less connected,
+one program's trusted computing base may be significantly different
+from another's. \ No newline at end of file
