Also, from the CC, there has been litle said about: "TPMs across all other federal agencies"

This alone is huge, with the only drawback being the glacial speed of the Gov't! As SKS has repeatedly said, TPM's and TC will be the "standard".

And confirmation of the "standard" in the last few months with MSFT w/Vista, Seagate w/FDE, & now Intel w/Trusted Execution!





"We saw over the course of the last few months that the Air Force standard secure PC image is intended to be the reference design for other federal agencies. So that will help to push TPMs across all other federal agencies;"


"Let me also talk a little bit about the government side of our business. We continue to work with our Federal government in a variety of different areas. We have the US Army and Air Force now standardized Trusted Platform Modules on all of their new buys. We saw over the course of the last few months that the Air Force standard secure PC image is intended to be the reference design for other federal agencies. So that will help to push TPMs across all other federal agencies; we are very excited about that as well.

We have seen the completion of the first phase, of really the architecture of how they would do centralized management from a US Army perspective. Now the next step within the army is for them to make decisions around, is this something they want to go implement and how they are going to budget for it?"


"Now, the next step is to see broader engagement of our enterprise business that will drive the company into profitability. When we serve by talking a little bit on the OEM side about, I think, another very interesting development, which is that Intel and their recent announcements over the course of last couple days has begun to show their additional technologies that leveraged the Trusted Platform Module.

The trusted execution technology their Star T technologies leveraged the Trusted Platform Module as part of their overall solution, and provides yet another very large player in the marketplace articulating to the customer that a TPM is an important component, that it’s something to be leveraged and turned on in their platform, and that really sets the stage for Wave's market. So, this brings the third major participant, really in the course of the last few months. And so, the first would have been Microsoft with Vista shipping in the February timeframe, where Vista's Bitlocker technology leverages the Trust Suite platform module. And anyone turning on Bitlocker would benefit from the use of Wave's tools as part of the overall management and administration of the Trust Suite platform module.

The second is with Seagate in the launch of their new trusted hard drives that provide very strong protection of data, and are also part of the Trusted Computing Group standards. And now seeing from Intel the technology and suite of technologies that come around Trusted Platform Modules as well."
