Hi Barge
Thanks for the explanation. Let me please say it was NOT my intention to create ANY kind of a ruckus. I simply fail to see why there is a disclaimer regarding the security aspects of the TPM security Gigabyte is embracing and selling.
Also, I don;t think it makes any difference who the TPM manufacturer is with respect to security and being managed.
Consequently Goepling's remarks are not valid concerning the problem lies with Infineon.
At some point the CONSUMER sector is going to have to be involved, no question in my mind regarding secured computing.
I am a fan of Gigabyte motherboards so I find this interesting.
Also interesting is the fact that these TPM equipped boards can be purchased by any person who enjoys building their own computer or doing their own upgrades, including all white box makers.
Since it comes with a TPM on it, I assume then we could procure ETS and manage our security that way.
The old FDE is now called SED and mean basically the same identical thing, only SED is more descriptive, right?
What I fail to see is why, if this is so super secure (hardware based security), why does CM claim that there can not be and guarantee on the security of the DATA???
That imo just BLOWS away the case by the TCG for Securing Data at Rest. If it can't be guaranteed that it will be secure then what is the point?
I find that amazing, and again, let me emphasize I am not creating a ruckus, only trying to see if their is any sensible rationalization to cm's comment.
So far I haven't found any. Can you help me out here?
the best,
micro...
