Ramblings:
NTRU managed to cull together statements from
Intel, STMicro, Atmel, NSM, Wave and Softex …
It continues to be the case on this board that the relationship between the TPM, the TSS, and Wave’s CSP and what and who is providing “interoperability” and at what level is a bit muddled. I’m sticking with my small important part argument and that NTRU is as much about interoperability as Wave is. TSS is essentially the interface to the TPM, and Wave’s CSP works with NTRU’s TSS. Between the 2 anybody can crank out a MSCAPI of PKCS11 script and address any TPM. Wave’s role is the most vulnerable in this chain, regardless of the confused notions around here regarding what the word “niche” means.
Wave is becoming increasingly dependent on NTRU if NTRU emerges as the consensus TSS.
NTRU appears to be a private co owed by Sony, TI, and a few other investors.
Folks are used to licensing tech from Sony and/or TI for a nominal Fee,
It remains to be seen how well folks will line up for same from the folks of Lee (and again, I’m figuring a average buck a chip, not a buck plus 20).
NTRU could buy Wave. The tide ebbs and flows towards and away from Wave. I know that the fashionable interpretation in these parts is that Wave has notched off ATML, STM, NSM, and only needs Infineon to capitulate before they become the only provider (unless you ask SKS) of interoperability, but surely this is a bit of a pie-eyed interpretation.
Didn’t STM say they had a 1.1 compliant and 1.2 ready chip? And now NTRU says they have a 1.2 TSS. It seems we can assume 1.2 is essentially baked in, no?
