"So we have an update to the client that turns the firewall on by default. It's got changes in Outlook Express and IE for safer e-mails and browsing. It uses some of the new hardware features in the newer chips to block a large class of exploits. It changes the way we do some of the code protection. We recompile a lot of the key modules. That goes into beta later this year, SP2." http://www.microsoft.com/billgates/speeches/2003/10-27PDC2003.asp

Trusted Computing Group - Protecting Your Vital Business Data with the Trusted Platform Module.
Wednesday 28th April 11:00 - 13:00 With Lunch Hosted by Trusted Computing Group
Join security technology architects from Atmel, IBM, Intel Corporation, and Wave Systems as they discuss how you can protect your vital business data using Trusted Platform Modules. These hardware components, embedded into desktop PCs and notebooks, can be more effective than software-only security. The TPM provides a protected space for key operations and other security critical tasks that are not protected today. Using tamper-resistant hardware and software, the TPM secures encryption and signature keys at their most vulnerable stages - operations when the keys are being used unencrypted in plain-text form. The TPM is specifically designed to shield unencrypted keys and platform authentication information from software-based attacks. We will take a look at how TPMs and available applications and services can help you manage network security more effectively. And we will review the role of the TPM in authenticating users and handling other security functions.
