This invention relates to the fields of
information security and printing technology, specifically to an information printing output control and
traceability method based on a TCM
trusted computing module. The method includes an information printing output control and
traceability system comprising: a
client with a trusted identity module for collecting and encrypting the printing user's identity information; and a printer with a
trusted computing module for verifying its own and its
operating environment's
trustworthiness, securely storing the root key, performing cryptographic
verification and decryption of received
encryption tasks, executing "human-to-release"
logic control, and generating and embedding
traceability information into the printing medium for verifying
trustworthiness. Compared with existing technologies, this method establishes an immutable trust chain, achieves end-to-end cryptographic guarantees from digital
authorization to physical release, and ensures that each output
hard copy has a verifiable and unique identity, preventing the risk of data leakage due to residual data.
