StrongSwan and FreeRadius use TCG's TNC.
Both TPM and TNC might be interesting for Tor.
But AFAIK there are no portable TPM/TNC libraries, and OS support for
them varies, Linux has Linux-IMA. I haven't used PacketFence or TNC-FHH
or OpenStack's OpenAttestation yet. I think Windows has APIs, but
Win8-onward only. I don't know of any MacOSX options. And TCG is only
useful on Intel/AMD hardware, for ARM, you'll need TrustZone and/or
GlobalPlatform TEE.
