Embodiments of the invention relate to a trusted entity (90) and associated methods operable in a trusted computing platform. Such an entity (90) may comprise an input for receiving a trusted operation request from a requesting application (96), a trusted process for generating a challenge for at least one policy engine (98) that is identified for authorising the request, the challenge including an authorisation value and an output for delivering the challenge to the identified policy engine (98). In addition, the entity (90) may comprise an input for receiving an authorisation message from the requesting application (96), and a process for selectively facilitating the trusted operation if the authorisation message comprises the authorisation value. |
