TPM's backdoor . . . .

There is none. But that does not mean that any ole' body can sew up their plots of treason, terror and various usundry of debauched activities with a TPM with nary a concern that it can never be accessed without consent or key. They would be wrong and so would you. Obviously, the NSA, the FBI, ect would never agree to the wide-spread use of such a technology. But how to create secure crypto for government and enterprise and still have a means of breaking it when it's really, really needed. For the solution, look no further than Essex corporation, now deep within the bowels of Northrup Grumman.

Many of the details of Essex's technology are classified, but I have heard the founder and premier optical genius Terry Turpin speak. Much of Essex's technology was focused on the telecomunications industry with a strong emphesis on optical processing. Terry explained that Essex's optical processing could make an intractable problem using only electronic processing (ie CPUs) become tractible. It was able, he said, to eliminate 'false positives'. So, what might take years for traditional brute force techniques, could be reduced to weeks, days , even hours when pre-processed using optical processing. Optical processing does not actually brute force the cryto-key but makes the problem tractible for an electronic-based approach.

Where is Terry Turpin now you might ask. Light Wave Logic is where.
