+Intel(R) Trusted Execution Technology Support
+=============================================
+
+Intel's technology for safer computing, Intel(R) Trusted Execution Technology
+(Intel(R) TXT), defines platform-level enhancements that provide the building
+blocks for creating trusted platforms. For more information, see
+http://www.intel.com/technology/security/.
+
+Intel(R) TXT support is provided by the Trusted Boot (tboot) module in
+conjunction with minimal logic in the Xen hypervisor.
+
+Tboot is an open source, pre- kernel/VMM module that uses Intel(R) TXT to
+perform a measured and verified launch of an OS kernel/VMM.
+
+The Trusted Boot module is available from
+http://sourceforge.net/projects/tboot. This project hosts the code in a
+mercurial repo at http://tboot.sourceforge.net/hg/tboot.hg and contains
+tarballs of the source. Instructions in the tboot README describe how
+to modify grub.conf to use tboot to launch Xen.
+
+There are optional targets as part of Xen's top-level makefile that will
+downlaod and build tboot: install-tboot, build-tboot, dist-tboot, clean-tboot.
+These will download the latest tar file from the SourceForge site using wget,
+then build/install/dist according to Xen's settings.
