Awk - Fascinating read. Interesting to see that to the authors TPMs are some new-fangled solution about which they can only give some preliminary description. But they do take the time to include some description and that means that it is finally penetrating into the real world of corporate cost assessments. Of course, the software to which they refer is Wave's.

Last year, Intel launched a new motherboard with a Trusted Platform Module(TPM), which is an electronic safe that can store encryption keys to sensitive documents and
personal information. The TPM is an addition to the standard motherboard, and consists of a chip and keys that encrypt and decrypt files on the fly. In order to access the documents,
client-side software prompts the user for a password. Once authenticated, the user can send files or store them onto the computer's hard drive. Files cannot be accessed while in an encrypted state. In order to ensure that sensitive data cannot be accessed after it is saved, the client software uses a wiping tool to ensure all traces of the file are deleted from the hard drive and data is not sent to the recycle bin.
