= IEEE 1667 TCG Storage Silo = DRAFT

Provides an IEEE 1667 interface to a TCG storage device

TCG Storage Silo functionality includes:
 * Establish a communication channel to the TPer
 * Obtain configuration information from the TPer
 * Send TCG commands to the TPer
 * Receive TCG responses from the TPer
 * Reset TPer communications channel

TCG Storage Silo functionality can be implemented at multiple levels
 * The Storage Device can natively include both the TCG Storage Silo and the TPer
 * The Storage Device can include a bridge which:
 * supports a device which implements both the TCG Storage Silo and the TPer. This bridge passes IEEE 1667 commands to this device.
 * supports a device which implements a TPer, (but not the TCG Storage Silo). This bridge implements the TCG Storage Silo, passing TPercommands to the device, and/or
 * supports a device which implements neither a TPernor a TCG Storage Silo. This bridge implements the TCG Storage Silo and the TPer, not passing IEEE 1667 or TPercommands to the device
