It provides a chain of trust that allows you to ensure that a platform
boots a trusted kernel. That's a pre-requisite for implementing any kind
of fully trusted platform, but it's not sufficient in itself. One of
those additional requirements is ensuring that the kernel *stays*
trusted - in the past an attacker could just replace the kernel on disk
and so there was little incentive to engage in more subtle attacks, but
now that's impossible we need to care about them.
