Merge target

@Joereddington @NoahSPARC I'd support merging and redirecting this article, as an alternative to deletion (WP:ATD-M). Looks like trusted computing base would be a good target, based on the following references:

The Orange Book (1985): "For convenience, these evaluation criteria use the term Trusted Computing Base to refer to the reference validation mechanism, be it a security kernel, front-end security filter, or the entire trusted computer system."

2022 TechTarget article: "The TCB also has a security kernel architecture to secure the system and resist attacks."

2022 book about operating system security: "A security kernel design includes hardware mechanisms leveraged by a minimal, software trusted computing base (TCB) to achieve the reference monitor concept guarantees of tamperproofing, complete mediation, and verifiability (see Definition 2.6)."
