This evening I attended the TCG cocktail hour across from the RSA Conference at the SF Moscone Center.
My first social interaction was to stand on the periphery of a discussion that included Dr. Robert Thibadeau

and some of his long time TCG colleagues. After some minutes a young engineer from www.torproject.org entered the conversation and engaged Dr. Thibadeau in a head to head discussion on cracking self encrypting hard drives. The engineer had recently authored a paper on the subject. Dr. Thibadeau ably countered all, and I emphasize all, the proposed arguments regarding weaknesses in SED's. I am still rather reeling at the depth, intensity and total ramifications of the discussed issues. As the argument abated Dr. Thibadeau, in recognition of the young engineer's abilities, invited him to participate in an upcoming conference on TCG initiatives.
Wave also fielded a small display during the cocktail hour and queries to the engineers present indicated a very successful presence at the convention.
As an aside SS did not show for the cocktail hour and I was able to squirrel his name tag from the receptionist.
Thus when we all go to Vegas, you will be able to recognize me by "my name tag": Steven Sprague - Expert- Wave Systems - Trusted Computing Group.
I will then return the tag to SS.
