WOW!Trusted Computing Group - Protecting Your Vital Business Data with the Trusted Platform Module (top)


Wednesday 28th April

11:00 - 13:00

With Lunch Hosted by Trusted Computing Group



Join security technology architects from{b} Atmel, IBM, Intel Corporation, and Wave Systems{b/} as they discuss how you can protect your vital business data using Trusted Platform Modules. These hardware components, embedded into desktop PCs and notebooks, can be more effective than software-only security. The TPM provides a protected space for key operations and other security critical tasks that are not protected today. Using tamper-resistant hardware and software, the TPM secures encryption and signature keys at their most vulnerable stages - operations when the keys are being used unencrypted in plain-text form. The TPM is specifically designed to shield unencrypted keys and platform authentication information from software-based attacks. We will take a look at how TPMs and available applications and services can help you manage network security more effectively. And we will review the role of the TPM in authenticating users and handling other security functions.



You will hear real examples of enterprises using TPMs to manage and protect data in healthcare, finance, pharmaceutical and other environments. You also will hear about cutting-edge research into network security, authentication and data management, and learn how you can benefit from this research, which is being funded by dozens of computing industry companies worldwide.



Immediately before and after this informative programme, you can browse demonstrations of live applications and systems using Trusted Platform Modules to maintain data integrity, ensure users are authentic and keep transactions safe.



Representatives from Trusted Computing Group will be available throughout the Infosecurity Europe exhibit at the HP Stand 450 and Microsoft Stand 630. Or see the TCG website, www.trustedcomputinggroup.org .
