I've always thought of Cassandra as a she, but anyway.
Snack, you've pointed out the facts, repeatedly. I agree. feel free to ignore, either actually or virtually, anything that s/he posts.
(btw, according to IBM, thier security system is also on Netvista Machines)
http://www.pc.ibm.com/us/security/
(and I expect to see that list updated shortly to include Wave)
the brochure at http://www5.pc.ibm.com/us/me.nsf/webdocs/Brochure:Client+security+solutions:English/$FILE/Dtb6567f.p... lists seven different type of machines that have the IBM security features...
Cassandra, let me pile on...
Wave Systems Corp. (NASDAQ: WAVX – www.wave.com) today announced that the new Document Manager Vault and SmartSignature security software applications in Wave's EMBASSY® Trust Suite client software family work with the IBM (NYSE:IBM) Embedded Security Subsystem, a hardware and software-based security solution available on select ThinkPad notebooks and ThinkCentre desktops, to create more secure applications for the business user.
http://www.wave.com/news/press_archive/03/030804IBM.html
So, it does work with the IBM Embedded Security Subsystem, and the Embedded Security Subsystem is available on both Thinkpads and Thinkcentre products.
I would consider that relevant to WAVX.
Thanks Weby. Missed it completely...and I've an ongoing search for all things Safekeeper (as it is a revenue generating thang)
btw, what's RB again?
Doma, if trance wants to post here (well, trance will have to post as cali1191 since his/her 'trance' handle's been obliterated,(as is his 'sks' handle) but that's another story)...where was I?
Oh yeah. If trance/cali1191 wants to post here more power to her. S/he wil have to follow the same rules as everyone else. attacks against people won't be tolerated.
attacks against wave are, and if there really is a story behind wave (and I believe there to be a tanfastic story behind wave) then his/her arguments can be countered in a civil manner
Violence is the last resort of the dim-witted.
I have to say that I'm a little disappointed at the tenor of some of the posts from normally civil people.
There is no more stealth.
A direct consequence of that is that 'our' dirty linen is going to be hung out to dry. Who in their right mind would NOT investigate the background of a company that rockets from a close of $0.84 to, for a short while, $5.20?
It is natural. It is normal. It is expected. Instead of belittling the poster asking the questions (which will likely turn away potential investors) ANSWER THEIR QUESTIONS! No hype is needed. There are sufficient non-Wave generated links available to demonstrate that Wave today is not the Wave of 2000.
http://www.trustedcomputinggroup.org
http://biz.yahoo.com/djus/030731/0940001170_2.html
just to name two
seriously Doma,
How long were you aware of this?
Thanks Doma.
Why'd you 'keep' it?
...also, iHub allows dissenting opinion. It does not allow personal attacks.
Doma (and others) thicken your skin up a bit.
The advantage of stealth is that the warts are not seen by many.
Now that stealth mode is over, the 'inner workings' of Wave will be seen by many. There are things that newcomers to Wave will discover in the SEC filings that are, to put it mildly, distasteful.
The tight cash situation, bonuses with no regard to performance and unpaid corp loans come to mind.
More and more people will be discovering these things and, rightfully, will be asking questios about it. That does not make then a)short or b)bashers. I don't like some of the things in the filings, but I invested anyway.
Realize that these issues will come up for the foreseeable future, and learn to live with them. The only time these questions will stop being asked is when 10Q reports revenues with at least 2 commas.
no, it would not behoove wave to do that. Nothin that Wave releases in a PR, save revenue numbers relating to IBM, will be taken positively. (Even then, 2 quarters from now I'm SURE there will be backhanded references to 'that company that released the misleading PR' when IBM is mentioned with Wave)
The best thing that wave could do at this point (there were good things they could have done earlier, but it's too late now) is for SKS to pick up the phone, call the people he regularly deals with at IBM, INTC, NSM, HP, AMD, etc. and make sure all there are aware of the chronology of the stories (in a friendly 'oh-by-the-way- kind of way') and generally bitch about the idiot in the press (a topic I'm sure they will all agree with)
the morning of a numbers release there is typically a PR that says "Q2 release after the close". Any more notice than that is a gift.
it's lunch.
go grab a bite.
mbledub, please...
(part of the reason of the
delay was the SEC person who is reviewing WAVE's fillings was
on vacation)
Is that kind of comment even necessary?
The SEC is reviewing. That's a fact. It's been longer than Wave anticipated. That is also a fact. Anything else is speculation
ms Ellen Sheng is ticked...
allshore, this ain't news...where are you reading this?
whoooole lotta shakin' goin' on!
so. What's the support again?
tampa, I heartily DISAGREE with you.
Wave DID NOT FUp.
The ONLY PR that Wave released IN NO WAY implied a contract with IBM.
The resulting 'confusion' is the result of crappy, even over-eager, reporting
Info from FINREAD.
A month or so ago I emailed William VANOBBERGHEN of FINREAD with the following question:
Good day sir, it's been awhile since we last communicated. While FINREAD still moves forward, it seems to be progressing at a slower rate than I expected. Am I incorrect, and impatient, or have things slowed a bit?
I am most interested in the bank pilot information referred to at http://www.finread.com/spip/01_detail_implementation.php3?id_article=69 When should I expect to see something there?
Looking forward to anything you can share,
Cheers,
He is back from vacation (you wacky europeans!) and dropped me an email with the following info:
Dear Tony,
I would like to reassure you, no, FINREAD is not moving at a slower pace, on the contrary.
We are currently finalising the installation of readers (Ingenico, SCM Microsystems and Omnikey) among about 80 beta testers (Cartes Bancaires, SIZ, SSB of Italy, Actalis, Interpay, Altasys, SIZ, Banca Intesa, EuroKarten Systeme, Ingenico, SCM, Ominkey) in the framework of our Trusted FINREAD project.
Beta testers are asked to fill-in a questionnaire concerning the reader and its behaviour. We will let you know the outcome.
As far as the test with the European bank is concerned, this is proceeding as planned for the second part of this year. The bank is UBS (ranked 4th worldwide). More information is provided below (from Cartes Bancaires' site).
We also inform you that the tests carried out by the French health authority (Sesam-Vitale) with FINREAD readers is also progressing with encouraging results.
We hope this information will be of help.
With kind regards,
William VANOBBERGHEN
I asked why Wave wasn't part of this and his response was
Wave Systems is not part of the trail which is restricted to partners being legally bound in a contract with the European Commission in the framework of the Trusted FINREAD project.
he added that once FINREAD is commercially adopted WAVE can offer there readers (his words, "we encourage them to")
Something to think about.
I agree eats. I know what it meant, you know what it meant, and many many many posters her knows what it meant.
As expected, on island Wave is trading (most active) down to $4.30. That's up from $4.16 in pre-market. I predict low volume today (15 milion, LOL) and a close above 5. My predictions aren't worth the electrons they are displayed with.
The Sheng PR has done as much damage as it can (and that's not much, in my opinion). The majority of the PR is informative, and the bias is obvious. Anyone that is interested will read the original pr and see that the only confusion is in the mind of Sheng.
As exciting as it was at the time, the NSM deal pales in comparison to the potential of the Intel agreement.
Intel has a trusted computing initiative.
They are pushing for all machines to be 'trusted'
The growth will be geometric...

lhf, it isn't a re-release.
old pr was "we are using an IBM machine"
new PR is "IBM has certified us for their reseller program"
Still not a marriage, but they've gone from smiling at each other in the halls in high school to kissing.
If the courtship proves profitable for both, maybe (note that that word implies speculation on my part) we'll hear wedding bells in the future.
bially,
Just got back from the shareholders meeting in NYC. I was the only one there.
ROFL. Hope you asked inciteful questions. Or should that be insightful?
Whatever.
Cheers.
See my post re: IBM just after PR was released by Wave
http://www.investorshub.com/boards/read_msg.asp?message_id=1282660
At the risk of sounding like a whiner (wah...wah...somebody call the wah--mbulance)
The PR in no way states that there is a relationship with IBM...just that the product works with IBM...
Yet STILL it moves, right Weby?
alea, good approach.

AMD/Intel info
http://www.nytimes.com/cnet/CNET_2100-1006_3-5059231.html
AMD saw its market share in the second quarter of 2003 inch up to 15.7 percent, a tenth-of-a-point increase from the same period a year ago, according to statistics compiled by Mercury Research.
Intel, meanwhile, saw its market share slip to 82.5 percent in the second quarter, from 82.8 percent in the same period the year before. Other manufacturers, a grouping that includes Transmeta, increased their collective market share from 1.7 percent to 1.8 percent.
...
The competition between the two companies will shift into high gear over the remainder of the year. In late September, AMD will release the Athlon64, a new desktop chip that can run 32-bit and 64-bit software.
Intel will then follow with Prescott, the successor to the Pentium 4. The chip will feature new instructions for better multimedia processing and a large cache for additional performance.

There is an overview pdf file of eSign Transaction MAnagement Suite here.
http://www.signonline.com/pages/pdfs/eTM_suiteoverview.pdf
I believe this, amped up to make use of TPM functionality, to be the Trusted Services Wave is talking about (but I could be wrong)
SmartSignature is the only one that is free.
The pricing for the rest of the services has not been made public (aside from the $30 comment by SKS). I don't know if the $30 price is for any and all, or if there is a pro-rated price for the services.

(NONE of these, or their equivalent, are offered by microsoft. And if they were, the following would seriously hinder MSFT from capitalizing on them... http://www.intertrust.com/main/ip/accused.html)
SmartSAFE™ (view SmartSAFE™ datasheet)
Maintaining a digitally signed record is essential to creating and maintaining a legally binding contract. Once created, these legally binding contracts are verified for authenticity and are securely deposited into the SmartSAFE document repository.
All signed documents in the repository are verified throughout the process to ensure that certificate revocation is verified, that the certificate chain is valid, and that the documents remain free from tampering. Additionally, the SmartSAFE continuously updates the status of the contract’s execution.SmartSAFE also supports signer access to the user’s digitally signed documents as required by the ESIGN law. This means that users can access and print certified copies, while the actual archived signed document is left untouched, meeting legal and compliance requirements.
SmartSAFE enables authorized individuals to manage, search, transfer and share electronic files, signed or unsigned, via the Web. SmartSAFE’s easy-to-use “explorer view” allows users to organize documents into folders while providing the controls to restrict access and permissions within an organization as needed. In addition, the SmartSAFE provides powerful collaboration and notification systems to reduce cycle times and increase process efficiencies.
Critical in its role as a component of the eTM Suite solution, SmartSAFE also supports hybrid transactions — allowing clients to upload virtually any file format into SmartSAFE. The applications for this functionality are enormous. Any file that can be maintained digitally, including medical imaging, insurance video evidence and telephone recordings, can become part of a document record in the SmartSAFE repository.
SmartIdentity™ Services (view SmartIdentity™ datasheet)
The first step to preserving document integrity is to validate the identity of the parties involved. Through the flexibility a PKI-based identity application, Wave Systems offers an optional service to provide identification of users online using an Equifax® patented process. Based on the real time authentication process, digital certificates are issued. The authentication process requires the collection of certain key information from the potential signer, which is then transmitted by Wave Systems to Equifax for a data integrity check. Now, with SmartIdentity Services, it is possible to complete transactions with individuals where no previous trust relationship exists, in real time and in a single browser session. Where required, this process can incorporate client specific hardware authentication as well, such as smart cards, tokens or biometrics.
SmartConnect™ (view SmartConnect™ datasheet)
The eTM Suite offers web services for integration with other applications such as workflow, legacy systems and CRM. For example, the use of the SmartConnect TagTool.dll allows for the real time preparation of documents. In addition, SmartConnect Web services can be used to perform the following SmartSAFE functions programmatically:
• Upload documents into folders;
• Retrieve documents or certified copies for viewing;
• Get document properties, including signing statistics.
SmartModules™
The eTM Suite is enhanced with modular functionality addressing ongoing industry specific and regulatory compliance standards. Current modules include:
• SMARTDoc™ Mortgage Banking Module: The SMARTDoc specification is the electronic document standard established by MISMO (Mortgage Industry Standards Maintenance Organization). It ensures the compliance of certain e-mortgage closing documents for sale in the secondary market. The SMARTDoc Mortgage Banking module incorporates these requirements into a clients’ SmartSAFE implementation.
• EMBASSY® Module: SmartSignature can securely sign via Wave’s EMBASSY Trusted Client Devices and PCs equipped with TCPA security hardware, allowing the user to provide multi-factor authentication, tamper-resistant storage for their passwords, PINs and digital certificates, and a security co-processor for applying the digital signature.
By the way, Intertrust doesn't have the same problem with Wave as they do with MSFT...

Luckytofind,
a number of aspects in play right now.
1) The IP that is inside every NSM Safekeeper chip deployed will garner Wave a royalty of "less than a dollar." NSM has, apparently, design wins with these TPM. Perhaps there will be some clarification on volumes the next SHM, or CC.
2) NSM is also bundling EMBASSY Trusted Services with their TPM. These services need to be 'subscribed to' much in the same way Norton Anti-virus does (to select one example) Wave estimates annual subscription fees to be in the $25 to $30 range. Activation will be, I am assuming, in excess of 50%. My rational for that is that a person that buys a PC specifically for secure services would be predisposed to activate those services.
3) On Thursday Intel announced that they too will be bundling Wave Services on their secure Motherboards (safekeeper?). At this time, I believe these to be (essentially) the same services NSM is bundling. The difference is that INTC is paying Wave a royalty for all bundled packages. Wave will then get the subscription fees for those that acctivate. Again, for the same reasons as above, I expect the activation rate to be in excess of 50%.
4) IBM is bundling the EMBASSY Trusted Service, like NSM and Intel, but it is backward compatible to the exitsing boxes IBM already has on the street. I can't really predict the economic impact of this.
In the (not that distant future, by Wave terms) I expect to see PDAs, (and they are rapidly converginy with cellphones, my Treo being an excellent example), palmtops, mobile phones,etc embracing the Trusted Computer Paradigm. Wave has stated that they will port their services to all platforms.
If can get you head around the potential revenues 5 years out, (I'll wait for you to get up off the floor) then you can see that the $5 point is an insignificant point on the chart.
This is, without hyperbole, a company that has a quite good chance of replicating Qualcom in the IP/services/royalty department.
