Did you actually think bluefang tells the truth?? And, what's he saying now that he has been proven wrong.

Amazing....

In case it gets deleted from the other board, I want to post this here.

It is a lot like what I have been trying to say.

Thanks John.

I also feel a negative bias toward Wave on these boards. Whatever I post gets deleted. granted I am not the most tech savvy individual, but I feel I should be able to post about Google's Chrome etc and what I think its effect could be as regards Wave.

If and when wew get financing, good news, revenue, BE, and new investors come looking for Wave all they will find is negativity, management bashing and pompous posts of self procalimed business geniuses who play to the obstructed view seats and post endlessly, it seems, questions that don't or can't be answered yet.

Or as John Prine sang; " a question is not really a question if you know the answer too."

G.Feeny's "Net Billings" for the Q are $2,218,000. I've been trying to piece together where this "Rev" came from. Based on the CC and other bits, this is what I've come up with. I'd really appreciate imput from others, to try to get this close.

$1,500,000 - 6mm ETS @ $.25
127,500 - 17K STX FDE via Dell @ $7.50 per
467,500 - FDE upgrades @ 55% of the 17K @ $50 per
80,000 - 1600 TPM upgrades @ $50 per
44,000 - other

$2,218,000 Total

We know that $1,623,802 of the $1,985,000 actual Rev came from Dell. That's 81.8%. So it's likely that around $1,820,000 of the "net billings" came from Dell. Anyway, thanks for any criticisms

[TREND1]

On Monday 8/18/08, wavx will have not met the condition set by the NASDAQ to stay listed on the NASDAQ Global Market.

This time, not only are they not in compliance for the Global Market listing( $50,000), they "MAY" no longer are in compliance for a Capital Market listing, if the market cap is below $35 million.

During the appeal process it will be interesting to see what leeway the NASDAQ gives them. After the appeal process, if things continue as they are, wavx could be in very deep trouble if they have to go to the OTCBB market. Companies listed on that market are not exempt from state Blue Sky laws and it would make raising cash very expensive for wavx.

The fingerprint reader which operates in conjunction with ControlVault, should a buyer choose it, is from a company in Austin.

ControlVault

First take:

1. Dell ControlVault client-side branding is replacing the old dual Dell-Wave branding.

2. This is connected to the higher pricing of Wave's client-side software.

3. ControlVault now directly competes with HP's ProtectTools. ProtectTools is built on Infineon's solution.

4. Wave presumably will hope to replace Infineon with HP if Dell gains an advantage.

5. Since Wave's upgrade services seemed to gain no branding advantage from being included in Dell's client-side security package, they probably haven't lost that much in no longer being part of the name.

6. This still means the chasm between unique unit client-side security enhancement, and network managed multi-user trust administration, remains to be crossed

barge, re: ControlVault.............

You've hit the nail on the head !!! This IS Wave!! But,
Wave is unable to do a PR explaining this FACT to the world because this is Dell's attempt to "Dell-brand" and launch a security solution on their new E-platform.

Wave has been working with Dell for the past nine months on this. Included in this solution is Dell’s new Control Point..which is an integrated set of functions including the TPM, a new biometric ‘match on chip’ finger print sensor, hardware for contactless smart card (which gets you access to your new E series), FDE drive support, and some additional functions, including the Control Vault. Wave’s ETS software is one of the key components for implementing support for many, but not all of the new security functions in Control Point. Wave’s software will ship with every platform and the ERAS server is an essential element of remote management for a number of the features of Control Point.

It is THE REASON Wave gets paid 80% more for every unit shipped.

Also as important, and I think I understand this correctly, it is backwards compatible and that represents a billion-and-a-half-dollar upgrade market. Wave is meeting with 250 Dell salespeople starting tomorrow.

Once people start to understand this, I think you are correct in that the stock will blast past a buck.

Note:

The Dell E-series of notebooks features an additional cryptographic chip that will execute biometric template comparisons in hardware...

awk, I believe the TPM is where the biometric template comparison is executed (not an additional crytographic chip).

In fact, it's my understanding that Dell's new trademarked ControlVault is merely the TPM. I want to tell you, it's a very, very encouraging sign that Dell has finally moved to brand their Wave-enabled TPM environment, naming it ControlVault. This should help in getting Dell enterprise customers to activate their TPMs in order to utilize ControlVault. I also expect promotion of ControlVault will promote the procurement of ERAS for centralized remote management of ControlVault.

Wave Receives Nasdaq Notice of Minimum Bid Price Non-Compliance

Last update: 5:07 p.m. EDT Aug. 12, 2008
LEE, Mass., Aug 12, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Wave Systems Corp. (WAVX:
wave systems corp com new
News, chart, profile, more
Last: 0.59-0.10-14.49%
3:59pm 08/12/2008

WAVX 0.59, -0.10, -14.5%) announced that it received notification today from the Listing Qualifications division of The Nasdaq Stock Market indicating that the Company's Class A Common stock is subject to potential delisting from The Nasdaq Global Market because for the last 30 consecutive business days, the bid price of the Company's Class A common stock has closed below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement for continued inclusion under Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4450 (the "Bid Price Rule"). This notice follows the previous notice received by Wave on July 17, 2008 from Nasdaq's Listing Qualifications division indicating that Wave's common stock is subject to potential delisting from The Nasdaq Global Market because the market value of Wave's common stock was below $50 million for 10 consecutive business days, and, therefore, did not meet the requirement set forth in Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4450(b)(1)(A) (the "Market Value Rule").
The Nasdaq notice indicated that, in accordance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4450(e)(2), Wave will be provided 180 calendar days, or until February 9, 2009, to regain compliance. If, at any time before February 9, 2009, the bid price of the Company's Class A common stock closes at $1.00 per share or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, Nasdaq staff will provide written notification that it has achieved compliance with the Rule. However, as reported in the July 17th news announcement, the Previous Nasdaq Notice states that the Company will be provided a period of 30 calendar days, or until August 18, 2008, to regain compliance with the Market Value Rule by having a market value of $50 million or more for the Company's common stock for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days (or such longer period of time as the Nasdaq staff may require in some circumstances).
The Company will not regain compliance with the Market Value Rule by August 18, 2008 and expects to receive a delisting notice from the Nasdaq staff on that date. At that time, the Company will appeal the determination to delist its securities to a Listing Qualifications Panel. The Company expects that its common stock will continue to be listed on The Nasdaq Global Market during the appeal process. Alternatively, the Company may consider applying to transfer its securities to The Nasdaq Capital Market if it satisfies the requirements for inclusion set forth in the Marketplace Rules, other than the minimum bid price requirement. The Nasdaq Capital Market's aggregate market value continued listing requirement is $35 million. If the Company submits an application to transfer its securities to The Nasdaq Capital Market and it is approved, the Company may be afforded the remainder of The Nasdaq Capital Market's 180 calendar day compliance period in order to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule while on The Nasdaq Capital Market. If the Company does not regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule by February 9, 2009, the Nasdaq staff will provide written notification that the securities will be delisted.
Wave plans to exercise diligent efforts to maintain the listing of its common stock on The Nasdaq Global Market or, in the alternative, to transfer its securities to The Nasdaq Capital Market, but there is no assurance that it will be successful in doing so.

WAVE SYSTEMS 2Q07 CONFERENCE CALL, 08/08/07

"Gerry Feeney, CFO: Good afternoon everyone. [Disclaimer] [Recap of Press Release]

Steven Sprague, CEO: Thank you Gerry. And, thank you everybody for joining our call today.

I'd like to start by telling you, to just describe, the four major areas I'm going to talk about today. The first is we've begun shipping Seagate drives and our software with Dell, and we're very pleased to see that enter the market a couple of weeks ago."

But my recollection is it took a while longer to be able to configure a FDE drive on the Dell webpages.

Seagate Momentus FDE.2 AND SECUDE (already posted twice on the
other wavx board)

This was an article posted by Snawk which raises some interesting questions in my mind about Seagate's relationship with Wavx. W
For instance, why isn;t Wave's FDE.2 drive management being utilized?

Comments would really be welcomed. Thanks.

Actebis Peacock together with Seagate and SECUDE have today opened a new era in the European hard disk drive market as the first distributor to include hardware FDE disk drives to its portfolio. This provides users with a simple migration path from traditional software-based FDE to more advanced hardware-based Full-Disk Encryption (FDE).

The groundbreaking dual technology solution is a product of the close partnership between Seagate and SECUDE International AG. Swiss SAP Security expert, SECUDE, with its new encryption solution FinallySecure Enterprise v9 manages the hardware-based encryption of Seagate Momentus FDE.2 drives. FinallySecure provides security functions for management, user authentication (PBA) and recovery. In addition, FinallySecure implements a software-based Full Disk Encryption for all legacy systems.


This dual technology approach enables both software and hardware-based Full Disk Encryption. The combination of both technologies under the same user interface and with identical management functions gives businesses the option to encrypt data either with software or hardware-based FDE and provides a smooth migration during the transition to hardware-based FDE. "This hybrid technology guarantees a high level of security, simple installation and administration while also ensuring significant savings in the transition to hardware-integrated encryption", explains René Schaefer, business unit manager at Actebis VAD Peacock.

For Seagate, the combined offering of Momentus FDE.2 hard drives with SECUDE security technologies by Actebis Peacock is the continuation of a long-term co-operation. "Actebis was one of Seagate’s first authorized distributors and we have now been working together for more than 20 years in a very fruitful partnership. We are very happy that Actebis, as an authorized distributor of our Momentus 5400 FDE.2 - part of the Seagate Secure™ portfolio of self-encrypting hard drives

Secude Central Management for Hardware- or Software-based Full Disk Encryption

Enterprises Require Encryption, Not Only to Protect Company Data from Being Stolen

(11.07.0 - Secude International announces the release of "FinallySecure 9.1" with Centralized Management to its Data Protection portfolio. FinallySecure is the world’s only hybrid software- or hardware-based Full Disk Encryption. FinallySecure enables early adoption and migration to the upcoming wave of hardware-based FDE technologies such as Seagate Momentus Full Disk Encryption (FDE) disk drives.

Many enterprises struggle with the performance impact of software-based encryption solutions and are searching for a solution. While hardware juggernauts such as Seagate, Hitachi, Fujitsu, and Intel have already announced their continued push into the hardware-based encryption and security market, few enterprises are willing to migrate to the new, faster technology without robust central management. FinallySecure 9.1 Enterprise allows companies to manage their legacy FDE systems while adapting to the new technology efficiently and effectively.

"Do you know where your company laptops are?" asks Tristan Kromer, Vice President of Data Protection Division, "Enterprises require encryption, not only to protect company data from being stolen, but also to enforce company policy with central management. If an employee leaves the company without returning their laptop, FinallySecure can erase that hard drive remotely or just temporarily decommission it. This sort of flexible central management system, applied to both software- and hardware- FDE, allows companies to protect their data, even when they cannot protect their laptops."

FinallySecure provides remote configuration, remote decommissioning, an intuitive user interface, and synchronization with Active Directory. FinallySecure 9.1 Enterprise with FinallySecure Management Console 1.0 fulfills critical business needs by allowing customer migration from software to hardware-based FDE, all with unlimited number of users and group policies.

Partnering with hardware vendors for encryption also unlocks other advantages. In addition to increased performance, hardware-based FDE compartmentalizes the encryption algorithms on the hard disk drive itself. This eliminates the possibility that a virus or bugs in the overall OS can corrupt the encryption and result in the loss of data.

FinallySecure allows businesses to survive, adapt and grow in a heterogeneous IT eco-system

Wave Receives Nasdaq Global Market Notice of Listing Non-Compliance
Thursday July 17, 5:15 pm ET


LEE, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Wave Systems Corp. (NASDAQ: WAVX; www.wave.com) announced that it received a notice today from the Listing Qualifications division of The Nasdaq Stock Market indicating that the Company’s common stock is subject to potential delisting from The Nasdaq Global Market because the market value of the Company’s common stock was below $50 million for 10 consecutive business days, and, therefore, did not meet the requirement set forth in Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4450(b)(1)(A) (the “Rule”). The notice further stated that the Company is not in compliance with an alternative test, Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4450(b)(1)(B), which requires total assets and total revenue of $50 million each for the most recently completed fiscal year or two of the last three most recently completed fiscal years.
In accordance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4450(e)(4), Wave will be provided a period of 30 calendar days, or until August 18, 2008, to regain compliance with the Rule. If at anytime before August 18, 2008, the market value of Wave’s common stock is $50 million or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days (or such longer period of time as the Nasdaq staff may require in some circumstances), the Company will achieve compliance with the Rule.

If Wave has not regained compliance with the Rule by August 18, 2008, the Nasdaq staff will issue a letter notifying the Company that its common stock will be delisted. At that time, the Company may appeal the determination to delist its common stock to a Listings Qualifications Panel. Alternatively, if the Company cannot meet the requirements for continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Market, it may apply to transfer to The Nasdaq Capital Market.

Wave Systems plans to exercise diligent efforts to maintain the listing of its common stock on The Nasdaq Global Market, but there is no assurance that it will be successful in doing so. If the Company does not resolve the listing deficiency, the Company may apply for listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market.

Full Disk Encryption isn't FDE anymore
Posted by Jon Oltsik 2 commentsA few years ago, encryption was a topic discussed at the NSA or MIT, not in the corporate boardroom. Times have changed!

Given the slew of privacy regulations and publicly disclosed breaches, laptop encryption has become a must-have.

As companies buy encryption software to cover this requirement, however, another pattern is emerging. Don't let that $150 per user licensing fool you--FDE has become a commodity. The federal government negotiated a deal to pay around $15 per seat for FDE, and I've seen big deals as low as $5 per seat. To their credit, the FDE software vendors anticipated this inevitable trend and are now wrapping additional functionality around their FDE contracts to sweeten the deals and provide customers with more security. McAfee/SafeBoot bundles in Data Leakage Prevention (DLP); PointSec adds port blocking, etc.

The bottom line is that FDE alone isn't cutting it anymore; large organizations want and are willing to pay for more. This moves the FDE market in two diverse directions. On the one hand, big endpoint security vendors like McAfee, Symantec, and Trend Micro can simply make FDE a feature in their suites for cost-conscious customers and charge a few extra bucks for the favor. This makes FDE easy for the masses. On the other hand, FDE will be offered as part of much bigger and focused data security offerings. BitArmor and PGP come to mind here.

Ultimately, FDE fades into the infrastructure, embedded in Intel chips, Microsoft operating systems, and Seagate Technology hard drives. In the meantime, the remaining FDE crowd is scrambling to remain relevant. FDE as a feature in a greater data security suite is a good plan for the long term. FDE as a business opportunity is all but gone.

DELL has backdoor access even to FDE enabled HDs by restricting users to only user-level passwords in the BIOS. Any DELL tech can give anyone the admin password to bypass the hardware encryption on your HDs. You can use M$ Bitlocker software encryption instead and trust their assurances they don't provide backdoor access - but do you really trust them? Beware phony "feel-good" encryption! And check out all the "index.dat" files hidden throughout your XP & Vista systems sometimes. You'll be amazed at the detailed lists of all the URL & filenames you've accessed over the years (such as pics you've viewed) regardless of all the so-called disk wipe utilties. It gives new meaning to "domestic spying"... Reply to this comment

PGP, Infineon Team on TPM, Encryption

Industry leaders Infineon Technologies and PGP Corporation announce collaboration to increase and enhance security options


APRIL 22, 2008 | NEUBIBERG, Germany and PALO ALTO, Calif. -- Infineon Technologies AG (FSE/NYSE: IFX), a leading provider of security semiconductors and enterprise security software, and PGP Corporation, a global leader in enterprise data protection, today announced that they have begun collaboration across a range of technical and business areas. The two companies will initially provide a combined solution to allow Trusted Platform Module provisioning and management in conjunction with PGP® Whole Disk Encryption.

The PGP® Encryption Platform and Infineon’s recently-announced Trusted Computing Management Server (TCMS) software are complementary robust and mature security solutions The combined solution will enable enterprises to comprehensively manage their data protection systems with Trusted Platform Modules (TPMs). TPMs are security microcontrollers present in most enterprise-class PCs deployed today. Until the advent of TCMS, these TPMs could not be used effectively due to lack of centralized manageability.

PGP Whole Disk Encryption, one of the applications of the PGP Encryption Platform, utilizes a PC’s integrated TPM chip to add a second authentication factor to a basic passphrase. Enterprise customers can now leverage the TCMS infrastructure to centrally provision, manage, and back up TPM-based keys as a first step to a comprehensive deployment of desktop encryption. Together, Infineon’s and PGP Corporation’s products meet the most critical enterprise requirements of recovery, logging, provisioning, and policy management.

Infineon is a leader in TPM integrated circuits worldwide and has the largest installed base of TPMs currently deployed. In addition, the Infineon Professional Package, which provides the operating system-specific software components to support TPMs, is pre-installed by numerous top-tier PC manufacturers throughout the world. Infineon’s TPM Professional Package V3.5 is TPM-vendor-neutral, a core capability of the product. Infineon will supply client software for Intel’s version 1.2 TPMs.

“PGP Corporation is one of the strongest brands in the enterprise data protection market, and we are very pleased to be working together with PGP Corporation on future projects,” said Paolo Cocchiglia, Vice President, ASIC Design and Security (ADS) business unit of Infineon Technologies North America.

10 consecutive days rule will be violated...

Wavx now has a market cap below $50 Million.

As of Friday, 25-April-2008, Wavx is in violation of Nasdaq Rule 4450, Section e, Part (4) that states "if the deficiency continues for a period of 10 consecutive business days" then the company will receive a notice of non-compliance.

Wavx has received a notice of non-compliance and has been given 30 calendar days to have the Market Cap stay at or above $50 million for 10 consecutive business days.

This is the 16th day of the 30 calendar days where wavx has not achieved the required status to stop the delisting process.

IT IS NOW NOT POSSIBLE FOR WAVX TO MEET THE REQUIREMENTS AS OUTLINED BY THE NASDAQ.

Secude can do it for sure.

There are probably others (Seagate has been working with multiple software companies).

Warbil

Wave's relationship with Seagate is complicated. Wave, as far as I can tell, gets NO money directly from Seagate. It's even become a bit of a mystery how Wave is getting paid for the drive management by Dell.

At this point in time, Seagate has NOTHING to do with TPMs although that should change in the future as the TPM once turned on makes key management and liability protection simpler and better for the companies that need it.

So why the fuss?

Turning on the TPMs to manage the drives is the HEART of Wave's marketing strategy. While the $7.50 per drive seems to be missing, It can be found in the average ERAS pricing of a bit over $50 a unit on average. Today's approval means more rapid purchase by DoD, government, and states...and extension into the HUGE Federal supply chain. It's the key to rapid ramping. Use of FDE causes (doesn't require) TPM turn ons.

Hope the above (is correct) and helps

kant- What changes?

Well, according to SKS defending the reverse split; access to funding. Was it just another 'stretch'? Maybe, but when the CEO says that staying on the Global market is necessary to keep the company funded, how could anyone say that delisting doesn't matter? IT MATTERS.

PS: Heard the same thing on cc some time ago.
