Intel Partners with Wave Systems to Put Security Into Chips
By Jay Lyman TechNewsWorld 08/01/03

"It's a pretty robust way to keep a secret," Gartner vice president of research Martin Reynolds told TechNewsWorld. "It's possible to get pretty good security in the chip itself."

vice president of research Martin Reynolds said the move marks one of the first uses of the TPM, a smart-card-like hardware feature that is present but rarely used in PCs today.
"It's not just a chip on the board, now -- it's something that's useful," Reynolds said.

"We're going to see more and more of this as people realize the need for security," Reynolds said.

"With this, you can put security in the TPM and use relatively simple software to bridge to Windows," Reynolds said. "You don't have to remember [a password]. The chip, effectively, does it for you."

Reynolds said that while TPM and the security mechanisms it entails might have difficulty penetrating the IT markets because it is both new and difficult to understand, there is an eager audience for trustworthy computing.

"It's a significant increase in the level of security," he said. "There are people who realize the need for this and they will buy it."



Can we trust trusted computing?
Thursday April 17, 2003

Martin Reynolds, vice president of Gartner's Dataquest organization, thinks that in the end it will turn out that "LaGrande is a hardware technology that supports a Palladium environment."

ARM Builds Security Foundation For Future Wireless And Consumer Devices


ARM TrustZone technology will ensure that data downloaded or run on the device remains secure, protecting consumer privacy and opening up a range of services, such as mobile banking and multimedia entertainment to wider consumer use. In turn, network operators and service providers will benefit from a consumer uptake of these innovative services.


"Phone software must remain inviolate from any actions of downloaded software, and only hardware-enforced security can provide this level of trust," said Martin Reynolds, Gartner fellow, Gartner. "Security-enhanced processors are an essential component for the future of mobile phone technology, opening the way for a vast ecosystem of third-party applications."
