cslewis-Nice find-a very interesting quote here:
Touting a host of industry firsts for advanced security, the EntrePad 1610, for example, is the first sensor to leverage several industry security platforms including the Trusted Computing Group's (TCG) version 1.2 Trusted Platform Module (TPM) specifications and Microsoft Vista Secure Startup, as well as future platforms such as Intel's LaGrande technology.
Aebli said AuthenTec is the first company to offer a complete solution that is tied in with the Trusted Computer Group's TPM module, and is the first to show some of the advantages it will offer with the upcoming Microsoft Vista operating system. "We've done quite a lot of work to tie in Vista with the TCG and upcoming technologies offered by Intel to round out a complete solution to ensure that the data on your PC is as secure as it can be," Aebli said.
Looks like Authentec is planning for a world in which encryption through TPMs plays an important role. I also like the meintion of upcoming technologies from Intel. Maybe Viiv? If it is, does this make it more likely Wave will be a part of the Viiv user experience?
We also know that the ARM Trustzone is doing well, according to awk's post a few days back. Maybe Authentec is positoning themselves for that change in technology, as well. All IMO, of course.
Thanks for the DD
