Jabeaux:
Hello from a fellow Tiger Fan. Thanks for the post on TV Tonic being on the MS Vista Home system. I hadn't paid much attention to it and still haven't spent a lot of time in it; but, my experience with Windows Media Center tonight was fantastic. TV Tonic was easy to install. The golf tips in HD was a great experience. I can't wait for the Olympics (that is why I followed your advice and set it up.
Thanks again,
redau
Greetings to all my old friends here. All is well with this WAVE holder. I have a question. Does everyone know about the AF Cyber Command? It appears to be a budding security organization of utmost importance. Word is the HQ will locate in my home town, Barksdale AFB, Shreveport/Bossier City, LA.
I have intended to post this question for a long time; but, just now getting around to it. More info on this site.

Just so you know I'm here once in a while....
Your makeup is the same in the air as in the investing world. You have to be way out front of the A/C in jets.
Cheers!
Thanks Tony,
I haven't been keeping up lately. Appologies to the board.
Barge,
Anyone commented on the news item this afternoon?

Thanks Vacationhouse. I was too late when I tried to get on...was the problem. TIA.
"Millions of PCs have been shipped by the computer industry embedded with a TCG-standard chip, called the Trusted Platform Module (TPM)."
How many?
Things are good.
I thought "happy hour" was on Fridays. I planned to put a few posters on ignore...but not available to us non-members.
Comments?
John Negroponte expected to be New National Intelligence Director. Isn't he informed about WAVX?
So......WaveMillionaire, does this mean that Wave's ETS is in HP's product?
"HP is currently lagging behind Acer in Europe and Dell in North America in terms of total notebook shipments.
The 8200, 6200, 6100 and 4200 series offer a number of technologies targeted at enterprises, including increased security , ease of use and durability.
The computers incorporate a security chip dubbed the Trusted Platform Module, which enforces security policies such as requiring employees to run antivirus software, and lets an IT manager disable a stolen system even if the thief reinstalls the software."

I agree. Not being a premium member here (I've bought that privilege elsewhere), I can't put these bashers on ignore. So, I endure as I've always done in politics.
As in politics, I can't determine what drives them unless it is money.
I still have more wave than ever and wanting more.
Red Beard,
Nice to see you back again. Stay in touch.
Best wishes,

Bertha,
Their recent agreement with this company doesn't hurt either.

Micro;
It looks like WIDEPOINT CORP understands what we have been about all these years, to buy ORC....don't you think?
Fortunately, they seem to have a close position with the Gov't.
Hope this hasn't been commented on before......
WOW, talk about pricing of products(certificate pricing). ORC has it's sights on significant revenue. Don't know where WAVX figures in; but, if DOD decides to expand and accept us in part, we could be in for a tsunami of our own as originally planned.

Re: Digital Dust.......Sorry, thought you might have remembered him or her. It was in 99 I believe. Anyway, his messages were clear, concise, technically heavy, and his presence was like a Big Tim or Gentleman. Very impressive posts from him at the time if memory serves me correctly. Just happened to remember his handle.
Remember Digital Dust?
wavxmaster: DONE!eom
Tony: WOW, what a recognition! Congrats!EOM
KEV:
Please let me know when they do, or send me their email address you used. It would be appreciated.

Kev,
I think you are right. My old TVT worked great. With the new SP2, I can't get it working after download.
Tony,
Through the Salvation Army, tonight, I sent all I could afford to the South Asia Disaster Fund. My heart weeps for these people. Glad you are OK.

Happy New Year to all wave-oids who have been here so long. Count your blessings and learn from the past. Look forward with hope to a bright future. God Bless!

Bingoman and Weby:
Merry Christmas! May the New Year bring all of your dreams.
I disagree with both of you mildly. I play Texas Hold'em on Party Poker some time and my wife plays all the time at Poker Stars and they both require you to set up an account with a third party (like Wavx) who draws money straight from your bank according to your wishes at a charge of $5; but, you could put a max of $500 in the account. If you need money in the Poker account it only takes a minute to make the transfer from the third party and if you need to you can pull more money in to the third party for a fee anytime within minutes, and you can spend it fast or slow as you wish. If it works there...and it does, for vast amounts, some version of it would work for Wavx.
I have posted a portion of this once before asking why WAVX isn't competing in this field (considering we set up a back office).
Least we forget: (change the x's to t's)

Bingoman:
If we have security and we must... why not pay them the same way we do bills online. Give them your bank transaction number to draw against. I do it now with utilities and other companies. I would do it with WAVE. They already have a large part of my money anyway. What am I missing here?
BARGE:
Does this mean we own CHINA? EOM
Snacky:
That advice is TRUE to the core. One cannot accomplish much in life listening to the naysayers!
Thanks for finally taking the position. Cuddos!

Processors gets hardened
Security concerns are mandating the enhancement of on-chip protection
Jessica Davis, Electronic News -- Electronic Business, 12/1/2004
Wells Fargo is currently living through a corporate nightmare. Four of its laptops were stolen in October from an Atlanta company that prints loan statements for the bank, and those machines contained the names, addresses and Social Security numbers of an undisclosed number of customers who have mortgages and student loans with the bank.
As of the middle of November, when this issue of EB went to press, there was no record of that information's having been improperly used. But the fact that data can be stolen as easily as a laptop can be swiped has sharpened a growing focus on security that began many years ago when the first viruses that spread via e-mail made sensational headlines.
These days the push toward greater security is being driven not so much by outlaws as by legislation, in the form of laws such as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Among the many Sarbox provisions is the requirement for public companies to disclose in their financial reporting if their machines are not secure, according to industry analyst Rob Enderle, principal at Enderle Group, an IT and security analyst firm. Another law driving higher levels of security, he says, is the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), which deals with patient privacy.
Analyst firm IDC has forecast that by 2007, 80 percent of computer security will be hardware- rather than software-based. In addition, the firm says that worldwide spending on security and business continuity will grow twice as fast as IT spending over the next several years, reaching more than $116 billion by 2007 and making it a prime opportunity, particularly for companies in the maturing computing space.
Hardware-based security has been around since the mid-1990s, according to Enderle. But it has been slow to catch on, because no one wanted to pay more for hardware, according to Todd Whitaker, co-general manager of the Advanced PC Division at National Semiconductor
That has led to moves such as National Semi's recent effort to bring Trusted Platform Module (TPM) technology onto its SafeKeeper chip, so OEMs don't have to pay for another chip to implement the hardware-based security. National Semi claims that this can save half the cost of putting it on a separate chip. IBM has committed to using the SafeKeeper chip in all its forthcoming desktop and laptop computers.
The TPM spec was created by an organization called the Trusted Computing Group, founded in April 2003 by companies such as Intel, Advanced Micro Devices, Hewlett-Packard and Microsoft. National Semi is also a member, along with about 80 other companies. The TPM spec is currently implemented in chips from National Semi, Atmel, Infineon and STMicroelectronics.
"We felt that software security in itself was not adequate," says Nancy Sumrall, chairwoman of the marketing group at TCG and an Intel employee. "Software and hardware working together provide a much better level of security—one not as easily breakable or hacked into as with software alone."
Those close to the standard say that it provides a strong chain of trust from the software all the way down to the hardware level. The spec was designed so that TPMs from one vendor are interoperable with TPMs from another. The latest update is version 1.2, which multiple members have promised to adopt.
Companies are looking to hardware for security to fortify the protection already offered by software. "Secure layers of software must be built on something beneath them that is also secure," adds Whitaker. "You cannot trust what your application is telling you if your OS has holes in it."
Technologies implemented in hardware help protect against particular threats to which software is vulnerable. For example, at its recent annual meeting of shareholders, National provided a demo showing how a hacker can pull down tools readily available on the Internet to decrypt a software-based private key. By putting that key into hardware instead, TPM moves it to where hackers are less able to reach it.
Intel's Sumrall explains, "If you try to pry that chip off the motherboard, it totally erases itself," rendering it useless and the data inaccessible. This type of security can protect the data on laptops, so that thieves will not be able to access any of it.
Such hardware-based security efforts will not be limited to PCs. Trusted Computing has created a working group to look at security for servers,, cell phones and similar devices. Any device that is running software and trying to access the Internet should be a trusted platform," says Whitaker.

TrustZone: Integrated Hardware and Software Security. Enabling Trusted Computing in Embedded Systems - Volume 3, Number 4, 2004
Author:
Tiago Alves & Don Felton, ARM
Synopsis:
The rising interest in solutions for trusted computing is largely driven by the potentially severe economic consequences of failing to ensure security in embedded applications.
Ensuring security in both wired and mobile applications has become imperative. Making an embedded product safe from
malicious attacks has consequences for hardware and software design, as well as the physical attributes of the design. It is now accepted that the best protected embedded systems must have security measures designed-in from the outset, starting with the specification for the processor or CPU core.
ARM is enabling system security by integrating protective measures into the heart of its cores and providing secure software to complement the efforts of semiconductor manufacturers, product OEMs and operating system partners. For OEM partners, the issue of platform integrity has become paramount. For network operators and content providers, concerns over digital rights management (DRM) and m-commerce are growing.
