Yes, I was well aware of SKS's discussion as quoted in the eeTimesUK re: the market demanding a programmable chip (TPM). What always surprised me about that was that I don't think anybody here had considered programmability in that context before...ie. being able to reprogram the chip to thwart hackers. We had always thought of programmability as it pertains to the the processing of trusted apllication (trustlets) in Embassy.

I am still trying to understand if programmability of the TPM within the LaGrande/NGSCB architecture is an enhancement providing additional functionality, or if it would be redundant to LaGrande/NGSCB?

In the context of what SKS was quoted as saying in eeTimes, it would seem that a programmable TPM might enhance LaGrande/NGSCB.

I had meant to go back over the NGSCB whitepaper and then review Embassy to see if I could understand once and for all if LaGrande/NGSCB will be programmable in the same sense that Embassy is as that pertains to the processing of trustlets.
