Wildman as you correctly state 'I don't think Wave will benefit directly from this old Intertrust deal'. agreed, it's old in tech' time, but gotta' love the Wavx spider web of company connections that matter - and still continuing to surface, with our lil' ole Wave firmly in the centre pos'. e/
Hi! awk - Thanks for great Intel DD especially regarding delicate position of e/m security & shortfall of our existing secure postal services + help perk up interest by joe public-
'Another form of e-mail protection used by businesses is digitally signing the e-mail and attachments before they are sent. This digital signature provides the recipient with some assurance of who sent the document and that it has not been altered since it was sent. Since the TPM runs the digital signature algorithm inside the module itself, the keys that it uses are never exposed while unencrypted and in the client PC's main memory, and thus much less vulnerable to being misappropriated by a hacker.'

InterTrust Technologies and Wave Systems Corp. Announce Integrated Hardware/Software Solution for Digital Rights Management
InterTrust to Provide RightsChip™ Functionality in Wave Systems EMBASSY® Trusted Client System
Lee, MA and Santa Clara, CA, December 19, 2000 -- Wave Systems Corp. (NASDAQ: WAVX) and InterTrust Technologies Corporation (NASDAQ: ITRU) announced today that they are collaborating to create the industries' premier high-end digital rights management solution, using Wave's EMBASSY® Trusted Client programmable hardware system, as the newest platform in the recently announced InterTrust RightsChip family.
InterTrust's RightsChip provides Silicon Assist™ functionality for demanding security environments and integrates with InterTrust's other industry-leading, general-purpose DRM platform technology products. InterTrust will adopt the RightsChip Engine firmware to run on the Wave EMBASSY hardware, and Wave will provide the special security support needed to enable RightsChip functions in the EMBASSY context.
The RightsChip Engine firmware is at the core of InterTrust's RightsChip hardware. EMBASSY technology is unique in the industry as it is an open and programmable trusted platform. By adapting the RightsChip Engine to run in the EMBASSY environment, the RightsChip features and security enhancements can be available in any system, such as personal computers, digital set top boxes and other access devices, that incorporates EMBASSY hardware.
Integrating RightsChip functions in the Wave EMBASSY environment is the next stage in the partnership between InterTrust and Wave announced in March, 2000. In addition to being Wave's preferred digital rights management solution, the InterTrust Commerce product can now gain security benefits provided by Wave's EMBASSY hardware. This solution will allow InterTrust's partners for DRM applications such as music, streaming MPEG4 video, healthcare records and secure financial records to immediately gain the full benefits of the EMBASSY Trusted Client system for any system which includes the EMBASSY chip.
Confessions of a wavoidfile.
After sitting listening studiously to some of the finance arguments of the supposedly wiser sager members of our board, i.e. spin et al - here I stand in 2004 unashamedly up to my armpits in Wavx – I’ve bought on the highs, I’ve sold on the lows, but seem to have now finished up owning more of this stock than I ever had before, it’sa not a pretty sight!
I don’t know how or why, but I must have somehow become crazed/obsessed, a madness, perhaps a kind of Freudian love thing, utterly and totally fixated in this stock, (I have others but they’re boring) and spending most of the last 7 years just hangin’ on riding the bumps watching and waiting.
But one thing that’s certainly true more than ever this year, is that we / us, have got many more irons now in the fire, than we had at anytime before this.
On a very 04 positive note! The world in it’s wisdom has rotated to Wave just a little, the middle ground has begun opening up, the trusted computer concept is now becoming a public reality, and fascinating opportunities are beckoning, the big movers/gorillas have made space in their ranks, and are saying things to us, some of them very nice, there’s lots of new and exciting commercial and home entertainment wizardry that Wave patently & patiently holds the strings to.
So looking forward (which for some of us, has been usually a mistake), the immediate future of Wave Embassy Systems has more - more than a definite shimmer/glimmer going on around it, a kinda’ aura, and with our tan’s - tpm’s –cpu’s - attestation managers thingy’s apparently now the dogs danglies, there’s certainly no doubt that all true Wavoids around the world this year, must surely be licking their lips, after the many years of disappointing attrition.
Here’s to us all in 2004

The latest Caisse d'Epargne savings bank announcment, I have no doubt (re- Lhampster) is the tip of the iceberg in the extremely secretive European money jungle here.
The French & co have notoriously always heavily shrouded their financial affairs, without doubt due to the bunches of crooks and spivs that are milking the system and operate around here on the continent.
So I'm afraid that the world will just have to sit patiently IMO until the rest of the French/European bank doors finally creak open.

Thinking Without the Box™
We all wish that computers and the software they run were more reliable; that movies, music and other entertainment could be delivered to us simply and easily; that purchasing and controlling the content, products and services we use every day was easier and that one system could do it all. Digital convergence will bring all these digital products, content and services together in one system.
NextBend has designed the modular UniStac system to do all this and make true digital convergence possible. Our goal is the creation of a modular platform that allows multiple product, content and service providers to participate. Initially, early movers and established brands will dominate individual product categories like storage, automation, building security, home entertainment, etc. As the system matures, competition will increase within each category and multiple companies will offer products designed to capture a slice of the modular system and create new brands. This is similar to the way consumer electronics companies compete within a modular home entertainment system today.
Soon everything that can be digital - will be digital and this gives rise to numerous convergence opportunities. The advanced functionality made possible by digital technology combined with advances in miniaturization and broadband connectivity will create a new world of products and services.
NextBend Inc. is a research and development company located in Sarasota, Florida. As part of our interest in innovative technologies, we have designed:

Wave Systems puts private keys out of reach
By David Berlind
November 12, 2001
LAS VEGAS -- When it comes to maliciously poking around a system or a network, finding encrypted data, and decrypting it, the movies make it look easy.
But according to cryptography experts, a massive grid of interconnected and powerful systems would be required to break today's encryption algorithms in a timely fashion. Most bad guys don't have those kinds of resources. Even if they did, what sort of ciphertext would be important enough to warrant allocating such resources?
The answer, according to Joe Eremita, an engineer for Wave Systems (Booth L1661), is private keys--one half of the private/public key pair used to encrypt the data. If the bad guys get a hold of a private key, the integrity of the data is one huge step closer to being compromised.
Today, most private keys are stored on resources that are easy to penetrate, such as personal and network storage devices. Even so, the keys themselves are usually encrypted. Currently, Eremita acknowledges, there's not much that the bad guys can do to compromise their integrity. But he says that the future Will bring the increasingly powerful systems that bad guys need to execute a successful system intrusion.
Based on what I've seen and heard from vendors like Intel, HP, IBM, and Sun, it's not difficult to imagine the bad guys soon having access to the sort of computing power they would need to crack the encryption algorithms. For, example, 64-bit symmetric multiprocessor systems based on Intel and HP's Explicitly Parallel Instruction-set Computing are due next year. Moore's Law says those systems will be astronomically more powerful (and cheaper) in a couple of years. It not hard to imagine the bad guys having all the tools they need.
This is where Wave Systems comes in. The premise of Wave's solution, called Embassy, is that the last place a private key should be is on the easily compromised sectors of a storage device. Instead, says Eremita, keys should be hard-coded into special hardware that lives on the client device. "Locating the key on special hardware on the client side," according to Eremita, "is what we call 'trust at the edge.' "
The solution protects keys in two ways. First, because the key is embedded in hardware and not on a storage device, there's no way for an intruder to get at it. Second, it's different from centrally administered key management solutions because the private key is never transmitted across a network. It's embedded in the hardware that Wave thinks should be in every client device, especially PCs.
Wave is demonstrating its "Trusted PC" here at Comdex. End users can set up a Trusted PC by adding one of Wave's expansion boards to their systems. OEMs like Dell or motherboard manufacturers like AMD can also include a chip right on the desktop, server, or notebook motherboards. Wave is also talking about other applications for its technology, such as embedding it on Smart Cards.
For enterprises looking to use Embassy as the basis of centrally administered digital rights management system (especially in industries like healthcare where it is required by law), Wave works with providers of those solutions - such as SSP Solutions (Booth L1229).
Wave's solution is an interesting approach to a problem that's not an immediate threat but may be just around the corner. Wave is getting started now. The more systems and client devices that have the technology built-in, the fewer systems will have to be retrofitted when the threat reaches a more realistic level. For those who are really paranoid, or want to take every measure possible to bulletproof data, Wave is worth a look today.
Wireless World Gets a New Worry: Viruses
By Ken Belson
December 1, 2003
Telecommunications companies spend as much as $8 billion a year fixing phones with programming errors, faulty mechanics and other problems. Now some are scrambling to prevent virus attacks that could cost carriers millions of dollars more in repairs and lost business.
As more consumers begin surfing the Web and sending e-mail messages on cellphones and handheld devices, along comes a new worry: worms and viruses spread via Internet-enabled equipment.
The problem is still small, with only a few cases reported globally so far. But as operating systems in cellphones become standardized, hackers are likely to begin focusing on vulnerabilities in those systems as they have with personal computers.
And as cellphones and personal digital assistants connect to the Internet at ever faster speeds, more users will be able to download files with attachments, some of which may be infected.
Asia, where high-speed networks and text messaging on mobile phones are common, is the most vulnerable to these threats. As carriers in Europe and North America adopt similar technology , they will confront similar hazards.
Telecommunications companies spend as much as $8 billion a year fixing phones with programming errors, faulty mechanics and other problems. Now some are scrambling to prevent virus attacks that could cost carriers millions of dollars more in repairs and lost business.
The danger to mobile phone networks is probably five times bigger than with personal computers because very few people are focused on this problem now, said Andrew Cole, senior vice president at Adventis, a Boston-based consultant specializing in telecommunications issues. The dominant form of messaging is going to be cell-to-cell, so this could escalate very rapidly and overload phone networks.
That, in fact, is what happened in Japan in 2000 and 2001. NTT DoCoMo (NYSE: DCM) , the country's largest mobile-phone provider, received complaints from customers who were being sent messages that froze their screens and automatically dialed 110, the hot line to the police in Japan.
Special Security Software
The incident was definitely unexpected, that's for sure, said Nobuyuki Watanabe, senior director of the Terminal Application Group at DoCoMo. The company is in the process of spending billions of dollars rolling out its high-speed third-generation, or 3G , network that allows users to download data up to 40 times faster than convention mobile-phone networks. A rash of viruses might turn off users to the new network.
Eventually, DoCoMo dealt with the problem by installing special security software on its servers and new phones, which were also being bombarded with unwanted commercial e-mail and text messages from advertisers, dating clubs and other marketers.
DoCoMo blocks about 55 percent of the 1 billion text messages that reach its servers each day because of suspicious return addresses or attachments. An additional 26 percent of those messages are blocked by DoCoMo users who have programmed their phones to turn back unwanted mail or spam. Spam, though, is relatively benign compared with viruses and worms that could attack the phones.
In typical cellphones, the central processing units that serve as the brain are about as sophisticated as those in personal computers five or six years ago.
For now, most cellphone companies customize the operating systems for their phones, so the number of people using any one platform is small compared with, say, the number of people using Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT) Outlook, a standard e-mail program for personal computers. But as more companies start using generic software on their phones, hackers will find it more worthwhile to create viruses that can affect a large number of phones.
For hackers, it's only interesting to write viruses that can do damage, said Stefan Fillip, a partner at Mercer Management Consulting in Hong Kong. As soon as more 3G networks are deployed and people can send attachments and files, it'll get interesting for attackers.
In the worst case, malicious attacks on mobile phones in 2005 could result in $471 million in costs for every five million users affected, according to estimates Fillip compiled last year.
In the last year, Fillip said, companies have begun to recognize the potential threat to their businesses. In response to spam, many carriers have enhanced the firewalls that defend their network computers and some have also allowed customers to block calls or mail from designated phone numbers.
A Thin Line
But phone companies tread a thin line when it comes to blocking legitimate data traffic for fear that it contains viruses. They clearly need to promote Internet access if they want to generate profits from data traffic, but if they become too paranoid about viruses, they could end up hindering that traffic.
If you have a virus on your PC, you don't call Microsoft, Watanabe of DoCoMo said. But with problem handsets, they will call us, so our response has to be very fast.
NTT DoCoMo, with its commanding share of the Japanese market and rapidly expanding presence overseas, is one of the more aggressive companies trying to tackle the problem. In October, it announced an agreement with Network Associates (NYSE: NET) to develop an antivirus program for phones. The companies hope to roll out their product by the end of 2004.
Carriers in Asia, where Internet-enabled phones are most prevalent, are the furthest along in using antivirus technology. But security experts say that as high-speed networks spread through Europe and the United States, it is only a matter of time before carriers in Western countries get the security bug, too.
