Trusted Execution Technology (TET or TXT), formerly known as LaGrande Technology is a key component of
Intel's initiative of "safer computing". Intel claims that it will be very useful, especially in the business world, as a way to defend against software-based attacks aimed at stealing sensitive information. Although commonly advertised by Intel as security technology, the
Free Software Foundation claims that it can also be used to enable development of more advanced, tamper-resistant forms of DRM, and can be abused to achieve
vendor lock-in.
