To all on the board.......I have to leave and watch this investment once in a time. I'll hold my core of 10k shares till the end, but with the latest developments where a PARTNER buys a note from asustek with an IFX TPM and chip Software, and this famous partner doesn´t want to pay 50 cents for ETSL to provide HIS mainstream TPM software, it's not worth for me to watch any longer and to waste my time setting up a TPM enabled network with ERAS and Latitudes. While investors wasting their time with DD and evaluating Waves products, the CEO hasn't even bought a SINGLE share with his OWN money!LOL
ENOUGH is ENOUGH!
I wish us all the best......leaving for the next months, if there if anything to return.

Doma, thanx, I guess we've to wait, since I believe it makes no sense to offer a TPM as an option. It makes sense for fingerprint readers, but not for TPMs. They'd have to offer different M-boards for all the new vostro lines....
As always we've to wait and watchLOL

Bluzboy....this was discussed weeks ago. If you read carfully you´d have seen....
"TCMS enables remote administration of TCG-compliant TPM hardware using Infineon’s TPM Professional Software Package in a Trusted Domain."
What does this mean:
1. You´ll have to run the Infineon SW on the client.
2. The IFX SW only runs with IFX TSS so far we know.
3. Only IFX and BRCM TPMs can be used with IFX TSS.
4. The IFX SW can´t use NTRU TSS, so all other TPM manufacturers can´t be used
5. We´ll have to wait for the ITPM (Intel) and what TSS is used. Some here guess it will be the NTRU TSS.
6. IFX claims that their sever software runs with ITPMs from Intel, so we´ll have to wait. I think that the ITPM will run with both IFX and NTRU TSS, while IMO the NTRU will be prefered.
So you can use the IFX server and client software in an HP environmet, nothing has changed so far.....

AWL....100% correct! This is the HUGES announcement, I´ve ever seen regarding potential sales. ONLY with a software FDE encryption "option", Wave is able to sell the hole seats to an enterprise. It doesn´t matter if Safenet cashes 50K seats and Wave the remaining 50K, since Wave wouldn´t get the deal without a solution for ALL machines, TPMs and legacy......
This opens the door for WAve to offer complete, enterprise wide encryption solutions.
Thank god someone heard my cry here a few weeks ago!LOL

Hi Weby....I met Brian at Systems2005 for the first time, at this time I felt the introduction of the semiar held by him was really weak. Brian is a very nice man but I thought he wasn´t interested in speaking to a few Germans about TC. Well today I felt the same......
ABSOLUTE BS, sorry but it is what it is! If I´d spoke like him I´d have gone belly up a decade ago, right after I founded my company!
FRUSTRATING
BR
ISPRO
D&O.....relationships and their purpose.
There are two (sorry three(FDE from STX)) possibilities to bring hardware security and protection in the game. Software encryption vendors try to maintain the leading role in encryption, so they have to add value to their products.
One of the solution is to bind information like keys in/with the BIOS.
The second possibility is to store and generate keys in the TPM (or the FDE krypto chip)
For example HP and Dell and many other OEMs relied on BIOS for Preboot and Harddisc password for years. Now they stepped to TPMs.
There is no question what place is more secure. You can try it for yourself. Take the BIOS battery of your motherboard, wait a few minutes and look if the harddisc is still protected or the preboot mechanism still works.
Well you can´t bypass the TPM.....

Hamster will vote NO
The share options proposed at THIS point in time are, IMHO, excessive and unwarranted.
There is NO reason, IMHO, why reduced qtys of share options cannot be authorised annually.
In the event that the qty of share options now being sought are authorised then, IMHO, they will be exercised.
Wavoid permission will not be sought by share-option holders before exercising - and that's a fact!

ISPRO
Doma.....I guess we´ll see inreased revenues from the amendment in Q3 (we´ll hear it mid of november, so you´re right)
But we´ll see increasing royalities from Dell since we get the 7bucks for FDE sales, which started in Q1.
BR
ISPRO
Sorry no idea.....but you´re asking the wrong person, since I´m not able to attend. Somebody here sure can help with this...
BR
ISPRO
Why I´m more confident than ever.....
Yes I´m posting more than in the past few weeks (for those who follow paterns), but I had a call yesterday with a sales rep from Dell in the SMALL business section in a SMALL country.
I told her, that I want to sell one of my customer a few notebooks for their sales people. The data on the machines is quite sensitive, so I need a secure solution. NOW guess what she told me to buy! (BTW a few months ago, they didn´t even know about FDEs......
It´s time for weets!!!
BR
ISPRO
Ramsey....right on, and IMO Dell and Seagate wouldn´t spend huge dollars for advertising, IF they can´t sell 100K drives per Q! They calculate in millions not in thousands.....
BR
ISPRO
WD.....perhaps you missed one of my previous posts, but I think right NOW we have to spend money on the FIRST INSTALLATION, which SKS was aware of and hired a few folks. But we ONLY have to visit ONCE, that means we probable spend 30K bucks to sell and install an ERAS/FDE solution of 10K worth, but when the customer orders more seats we only have to send a license key for more seats!
I guess the burn will remain where it is for the next quarters.....
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.asp?message_id=27744039
BR
ISPRO
Ramsey....yes ERAS seems to be relatively independent, so the installation should not be that difficult. EKMS is another story, since it requires certificates. I believe ERAS handles passwords beside the domain controller, but this should be integrated(same password management as the controller) soon.
The Q1 will reflect what we´ve heard in the Q4 call. First shipments of FDEs in volume by Dell and first pilot packages, directly ordered or sponsored by Dell and Seagate. If I had to guess, I´d say at least:
2M bundlings
100K FDEs = 700K
50 x 5K packages = 250K
5K ERAS seats = 200K
3.15M for the quarter Q1
I could live with this number

Where we are, where we want to be and the long and stony way to get there.
Wave finds itself now in a role, where the sales force has become more and more important, and the visionaries lose power. Waves product team now has to learn, that potential customers now lead further developments and that the sales force has to bring in the message.
For years Wave developed a product and a market, without having to address day today needs and wishes of their customers and without having compatibility problems with other software or database systems, due to the lack of any existing implementation. Now the time has come where Wave has to learn, how difficult it is, to implement their solution in existing IT ecosystems. These IT structures were implemented a long time before any Embassy product saw the life, and have grown for years. Everybody can imagine how much BS runs on several domain controllers and how many servers and different domains are in ONE company. Now we have to deal with different applications, databases and security software and we have to integrate our products in these jungles. Not an easy job, but the good news is that we only have to IMPLEMENT our SERVER software ONCE and can wait for further orders of more ERAS or EKMS seats.
Our business model will look like similar to McAfee in a few years, where every client out there has to pay ANNUALLY for their TPM software maintenance, but for now, we are in a business where we have to go to each customer for a few K bucks. So we have to spend hundreds of thousands of dollar for thousands of dollars reward. This WILL change!
The next issue is that we can´t serve legacy machines right now. YES we have our killer application, but ONLY for NEW machines. As most here know, enterprises demand COMPLETE solution and so we have to think about the integration of a software FDE solution! (SKS can you remember SAFENET? I CAN)
Once we can provide a complete encryption solution for ALL machines, I´m sure we´ll have less problems in sales. And if we are IN with ETDM and ERAS, we can upsell all other products of our portfolio.
Face it, we are in OPERATIONAL mode, your SALES team is your ear and your customer is your chief! And this will last for the rest of every companies life!
We have to spend most money now in a time with low SP and financial crisis, but I´m sure we´ll make the race! Once we have, the upside potential is INCREDIBLE! (as it always was, but most of us forgot this FACT)
BR
ISPRO
Doma.....agreed on Feeney, but nevertheless HW based encryption and TPMs managed by Waves software (Dell, NEC and LENOVO edition) will succeed! Make your bets WHEN!
BR
ISPRO
Ramsey....correct, we could calculate the 100K in, if we assume 1.25M from Dell and 0.4-0.5M chip royalities. SOunds reasonable.....
BR
ISPRO
4x.......FDE were available as a CFI option only for enterprise customers until January 2008. FDEs were not advertised, so the customer had 1. to know about FDEs and 2. to be able to order them. I reported in November about the Dell solutions tour, where I asked a Dell rep about the availability of FDE for the hole worldwide market. If I remember he told me "in a few weeks". Well we saw the FDEs as an option in January on all websites.
SO I didn´t expect FDE revenues in Q4, but I expect them to show up in Q1. I was upset about the 100K (already closed), but I don´t want to beat a dead horse, so lets wait another 2 month for Q1.
Have a good day all

SigniaDocs Chooses Wave Systems to Add Trusted Electronic Signature and eVault Solutions to its eServices Mortgage Platform
Monday March 17, 8:27 am ET
Wave's eSign Transaction Management Suite Now Integrated into SigNet eDoc Management Solutions; Demonstrations at the MBA National Technology Conference
http://biz.yahoo.com/bw/080317/20080317005816.html?.v=1
LEE, Mass. & DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Wave Systems Corp. (NASDAQ: WAVX - News), announced today that it has licensed its eSign Transaction Management Suite (eTMS) to SigniaDoc for integration into SigniaDoc’s SigNet eDoc Management Solutions. Wave’s trusted electronic signature and vault solutions can now be used to automate SigNet eDoc Management Solutions by eliminating the need for ink signatures, as well as the expense of paper document processing and transportation of mail, overnight delivery, faxes and other types of delivery services utilized today. In addition, Wave’s solutions can eliminate the need to re-key data throughout the mortgage process, resulting in increased efficiency, data integrity and accuracy throughout the mortgage transaction.
ADVERTISEMENT
The agreement allows SigniaDoc to incorporate Wave's eTMS into its eServices Solutions to manage digital and electronic signature processes, such as creating, signing, storing, accessing and managing the lifecycle of legally binding electronic documents. Wave's eTMS is an integrated suite of applications designed to provide functionality that can help meet many legal requirements for transactions (signing and record retention) governed by ESIGN, UETA, Revised Article 9 of the UCC, SPeRS and GPEA.
The combined Wave and SigniDocs solution is offered as a suite of eMortgage services, from eDisclosures, eProcess, and eClosing to investor eDelivery, offering better tracking and control of the entire mortgage process from origination to closing. To address the demand for faster and more efficient ways to serve borrowers requiring loan modifications, Wave's eTMS will provide SigniaDocs clients and their consumers with new levels of convenience, compliance and security capabilities throughout the loan process. Additionally, eTMS supports Wave's EMBASSY® Trust Suite, which delivers advanced levels of security to client PCs using the TPM security chip found on many enterprise PCs today and can further enhance authentication and assurance.
“We have designed the system to offer a hosted suite of eMortgage services so they can be quickly and inexpensively implemented to meet current market needs,” said Tim Anderson, SigniaDocs president. “For example, we created a quick eModification service to address the current issues servicers are having with retaining their existing clients in this market downturn. In response to the current mortgage crisis, we believe the business is entrenching, getting more centralized and commoditized and going back to more conforming based lending. Under these circumstances, we see very few ways to develop a competitive advantage and differentiate yourself in the marketplace unless you can streamline your process to increase efficiency and deliver a better customer experience and service. Our platform is designed to do this.”
“Many consumer advocacy groups and the investment/servicing community are increasingly demanding solutions that improve the loan modification and refinance process. Many investors are also concerned with the lack of concise, easy-to-execute modification programs to help stave off losses and erosion of their portfolios,” said Kelly Purcell, executive vice president of Wave’s eSign Systems division. “SigniaDocs and Wave have responded to this very critical marketplace need by delivering an easy-to-use solution that is designed to provide trust and security for the borrower while also enabling providers to reduce traditional paper and transportation expenses.”
Demonstrations of latest eSign Transaction Management Suite Release at MBA National Technology Conference
Wave and SigniaDocs are providing live demonstrations of their integrated solutions in Wave’s suite at the MBA National Technology Conference on March 17 and 18 at Gaylord Texan Resort in Dallas. Wave will also be demonstrating enhanced versions of its SmartSigning Room and SmartSAFE solutions at the show.
With SmartSigning Room, documents in the SmartSAFE™ virtual document repository (eVault) can be reviewed simultaneously by all signers and invited attendees. The SmartSigning Room also auto-creates an invitation e-mail that provides borrowers with secure access to review, annotate, electronically sign, print or download documents. Extremely user friendly for the borrower and originator, the SmartSigning Room is also designed to provide both the investor and loan servicer the confidence that the loans have been properly disclosed, modified and signed.
Wave has enhanced SmartSigning Room to enable increased configuration of signing options. Lenders can set signing parameters, ranging from signing all signature lines at once to requiring signer consent at each and every signature or initial point. Furthermore, the signing can be controlled so that signers must sign in a specific order as well as requiring certain signers to belong to specific roles, such as a notary or witness. Additionally, the suite now supports PDF form field signing to streamline the implementation for lenders and document companies that have not yet determined the coordinates of all their document signature points.
“In today’s mortgage environment, many lenders, investors and servicers are looking for assurance, trust and ease of use in the solutions they select to improve borrower satisfaction,” added Ms. Purcell. “We are confident that we have integrated solutions at every touch point to support the building of turnkey, easy-to-use electronic solutions for the mortgage industry.”

Internet....thanx for your answer; I know most of the IT guys have no clue about TC. But don´t believe a little company like Wave can awake them. There has to be a marketing power from the gorillas. I know SKS is RIGHT in his thinking globally, but for now, Wave has to survive, NOTHING more...

Hi Dom, yes it´s pretty discouraging to read this, but as we all know, the greatest enemy of politicians, ceos and whatever is the ARCHIV.
"HAVING said that"(LOL), I think Steven is the right CEO for an ESTABLISHED company, talking to CEOs about future developments. It´s too late to change ANYTHING in Waves leadership, since any switch would cause further delays. So we´ll have to live with it and wait for the days (which will come soon, IMO), when SKS fits!
I spoke to him personally a year ago and I had the impression, that he´s really driven by the idea to DEFINE and IMPLEMENT a new security PARADIGM for the WORLD, forgetting about the daytoday issues.
WE NEED MONEY NOW, TO BE ABLE TO THINK ABOUT BECOMING THE NUMBER ONE SECURITY GORILLA IN THE NEW ITWORLD!
IF we BE, I´m sure we have the right person as CEO, right now, I´m HOPING....
