Hi Alea

I suppose that to the degree that a keyboard or printer needs to communicate with the motherboard, they will need the ability to encrypt what data they send. Like keystrokes-which can be stolen. I wonder if Trusted Computing principles could eliminate the possiblity of stealing keystrokes? Wave used to promote a Trusted Keyboard, right?

If motherboards must communicate with printers, and printers must communicate back, that is information flowing in both directions. Shouldn't both flows be encrypted? In fact, isn't one type of hacker attack made possible by the hacker using software that fools networks into thinking the hacking software is just a printer?

The more devices that commmunicate with the network, the more need for interoperablity amongst all the devices and the network.
