Snackman...I think this should make the front page?
seeing as the combination of both of these products is going to be our main revenue earner for the time being,understanding these services & the $30 per user per year they will bring in might make some believe Wave is more than a $1 TCG software company...:)
Additionally, the TCG specifications for providing attestation capabilities to trusted platforms, includes a requirement for credential management. These products may reside within the enterprise's global network or in an outsourced model to issue secure TPM Identity and Certified Credentials to platforms for use by various applications and service providers. These products attest to a trusted platform's Endorsement, Platform, and Conformance credentials and issues TPM Identity Credentials that are vouched for by this trusted third party architecture.
Wave Systems Attestation Credential Manager* http://www.wave.comWave Attestation Credential Manager allows the use of certified credentials for 3rdparty attested authentication. This product is capable of integration with authentication, digital certificates and platform credential systems. The ACM architecture offers an exclusive set of complementary services for the PC security industry. The implementation is highly configurable, and supports add-in modules, allowing the users to deploy only the services that are necessary to satisfy the business requirements. For example, it can issue specific-purpose Certified Credentials that have undergone extra validation for the business. When advanced credentials are required, ACM may contain a Registration Authority (RA) to verify information provided by the trusted platform. These advanced credentials can authorize some platforms to have higher levels of authority than others. In addition to advanced credentials, Wave's ACM architecture supports the following services: Credential revocation, Online credential status reporting, Online credential verification, Attestation of TPM security, Attestation of platform security configuration. Back-up, Restore Migration Administration Back-up and restore migration products provide IT administrators with the tools to service users in case of a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) or platform malfunction and also support upgrades to a new platform. Included capabilities for secure remote archival of sensitive keys that have been established with the platform properties. Additionally, retrieval of the archived information requires authorized access based upon the security policy established at the initiation of the archival process. While the keys can be restored to the original platform, the primary purpose of back-up restore and migration in the TCG context is to support the secure restore onto another platform.
Wave Systems Key Transfer Manager* (KTM) http://www.wave.com KTM provides for enterprise control and management of the archived TPM data, which surpasses any existing TCG backup and restore solutions available today. It also provides a consistent way to utilize and secure access to enterprise-managed backup key(s). KTM's flexible, policy-driven server infrastructure is web-based and secured by a Hardware Security Module (HSM). The KTM product includes the requisite corresponding client utility and middleware. Wave Systems supports both license and ASP* (Application Service Provider) models. Key Transfer Manager* makes a complex issue easy to administer and allows a business to manage its TPM-secured intellectual property assets securely. KTM can be integrated with other products in Wave's offering of the EMBASSY Trust Suite Client and Server Solutions for a robust environment for trusted platforms.
What's good IMO about bundling deals is that Wave's ETS gets put in the box with the TPM. Wave has no such deals with HP and IBM (only Intel and NSM)...intead Wave markets ETS to IBM and HP TPM users in something of a joint effort with IBM and HP. HP actually has a link on their website to ETS and I am told the IBM link is coming. It's my impression that Wave also jointly markets ETS with Infineon and Atmel, at least both companies have recognized ETS.
Seems to me the best of both worlds (bundling and direct marketing by Wave to the user) would be if Wave is bundled on every TPM (where currently ETS is bundled with the Intel motherboard that incidentally uses an Infineon TPM and also bundled on the NSM TPM) and at the same time Wave would have direct contact with all major TPM PC-buying customers. That would be close to 100% market penetration!
