You ask, "Is that something to be concerned about?"
Well, let's see. In my industry we have standards and a lot of them are established and tested by Underwriters Laboratories in Chicago.
These tests for certification of physical security are quite expensive to receive the UL certification which GUARANTEES that the products that are classsified with a particular rating are guaranteed by UL to meet those specifications and ratings. IF they fail, guess who is holding the bag? Me, the manufacturer.
BTW, none have ever failed period, which is why we guarantee them.
Tested standards should not fail and guarantees should be straightforward and without convolusion.
For example, if a vault door at a bank is rated to withstand attack for 2 hours and has been tested by UL and recieved their certification, you can bloody well bet your life that vault door will do exactly what it is RATED and ADVERTISED to do.
Now, let's look at the practical application regarding Gigabyte and the TPM and your statement.
The argument is made that hardware based security, especially utilizing OPAL standars is the absolute best, most secure, positively greatest way to safely and securely store your data and information. It is military grade secure.
So you are telling me that military grade means "maybe it will and maybe it won't??????
Or are you just admitting that this secure and trusted computing is just a bunch of overblown hooey because it isn;t possible to safely store one's data no matter what methodology is employed?
As you can tell, I am more than a little befuddled at your response and I don't know, but maybe we should pose your theorem to Wave Systems or the TCG and see what they say.
From a marketing perspective, if you won't stand behind your product and make disclaimers like that (which indicate that it might not be as safe and secure as we claim it is) then why would or should ANYONE, especially the Federal government, purchase such a system?
CM, I am sorry, but this makes no sense to me, and yes, we do have guarantees and there are no disclaimers.
the best,
