If I have mischaracterized your posts and taken them out of context, I apologize. But to tell you the truth, I am too thick to see it.
You wrote: "A proven unhackable security device/system needs to be mandated by industry and/or federal; without user discretion of off or on."
Yes, a TPM is such a device, whether it is unhackable or not--I think a TPM has already been breached by an academic, just as a proof of concept that the TPM is not unbreakable.
However, let's go back the main point. You think a security device needs to be mandated by industry and/or federal....
I said it is the other way around for some devices, apps or software.
Obviously these devices must use existing protocols and language to work, but if they do work--then they become standards. Sometimes the lack of standards hinders adoption. Blu-Ray vs HD DVD. Blu-ray won out, but not because of any standards imposed. It was fought out in the market place and this time, Sony won.
Some examples given were not unhackable security devices and I did not mean to imply they were. They were just examples of technology that came out of nowhere and led to rapid and widespread adoption before standards came out.
Generally speaking what you say is exactly the case. But there are notable exceptions.
If I still don't have your tune right, I'm not likely to. I read and re-read your posts and could not find what you mean or where I took your words out of context. Help?
