Graeme Proudler was a researcher at Hewlett-Packard Laboratories in Bristol, UK, and the Chair of the Trusted Computing Group's Technical Committee until November 2013. He was the technical lead of the HP Labs research group that contributed to Trusted Computing Platform Alliance specifications, a founder member of the TCPA Technical Committee and original editor of the TCPA main (TPM) specification. His research interests include information security, networking and mobile communications.

Dr. Liqun Chen is a researcher at Hewlett-Packard Laboratories in Bristol, UK. She has developed a number of well-known cryptographic schemes, some of which were designed for and are implemented in the TPM. She has an extensive publication record in cryptography and information security and holds 38 granted US patents in these areas. She has served as editor or co-editor for five ISO/IEC standard documents in cryptography and serves on boards for related academic journals and conferences.

Christopher Dalton is a Principal Research Engineer within HP Labs, UK. His research interests include platform security (fixed and mobile), operating systems, network security and virtualisation, as well as a wider interest in distributed systems. He has been responsible for many successful technology transfers from research through to commercial products. He has published influential papers in the areas of systems, network security and virtualisation and has generated a number of patents in areas including novel low-level security features and efficient network virtualisation mechanisms.
