tboot is an implementation of an Intel(R) TXT MLE (Measured Launched Environment).  The "Intel® Trusted Execution Technology Software Development Guide" at http://www.intel.com/technology/security/ describes how an MLE works and how to write one--tboot follows this documentation (with the caveat that the doc describes writing an MLE for a late launch whereas tboot is early launch and this a little less complicated with regards to handling APs and existing state).
