Weby- the feeling is mutual
Thanks for providing the email. I feel like I get the whole key transfer aspect of encryption and attestation, as well as VPNs, but that is not the kernel of truth that I seek. This has bugged me for some time, and it may be sufficiently technical that only one of Wave's cryptographers could answer it.
While I accept(and the many bundling deals validate) that Wave is the only one to be able to make key transfer work seemlessly among many diffferent types and instantiations of Trusted Platform Modules, I don't understand what Wave has that makes it so. In other words, what the heck is it that makes Wave's secret sauce so unique and so necessary? I know it has to do with the transfer of cryptographic keys between different cryptographic key generators/decryptors, I also know that it has to do with some type of algorithm that conducts "smoothing," (I think that's the right term). What I don't understand is why Intel wants that from Wave, but went to the trouble to build a chipset that seems to do what Wave's ETS already does, as SKS' email suggests.
"We have deployed full wave software through out wave and we use it every day for VPN access windows domain authentication and data protection."
Why didn't Intel just put a TPM on the motherboard, bundle ETS, and offer KTM and be done with it? It seems that there is something more here, or am I overthinking thigs?
