"You also are giving no credit to "Shoulder Surfing" or Password Cross site usage."
But I did give credit to shoulder surfing. I then stated the intruder would have to gain posssession of the device.
You and I don't disagree that PIN sniffing is feasible on TPM-enabled devices, I'm emphasizing the point that stolen device scenarios account probably account for a very low% of network intrusions. My assumption is intrusions generally occur using unauthorized devices. I stand to be corrected.
"But I take heartfelt exception that " 'IT Guys' don't get it"."
Hey, that wasn't directed at YOU and I'm sorry if you took it that way; perhaps you didn't. Probably a better way to express my sentiment would have been "many enterprise IT folks aren't aware of trusted computing". Perhaps you disagree; see more below.
"But I take heartfelt exception that " 'IT Guys' don't get it"."
"It's a dismissive and arrogant statement."
"They most certainly do, and much better than your average layman on a message board."
My profession puts me in the convention business environmemt here in Las Vegas. Actually I have a great deal of experience introducing the TC concept over many years to my enterprise IT customers...tons of them. For a layperson to enterprise IT my awareness of and understanding of TC including the challenges implementing it in existing enterprise network infrastructure is exceptionally high for a layperson. Try me on some of the challenges. Name some and we'll talk.
A better way to put it is not "they don't get it" but "many are not aware of it".
