TRUSTED COMPUTING GROUP HOSTS SEMINAR AT 3 RD ANNUAL DIGITAL ID WORLD CONFERENCE PORTLAND, Ore., Oct. 13, 2004 – The Trusted Computing Group (TCG), whose specifications have been developed to help vendors build products that protect critical data and information, will host a Trusting Computing seminar in conjunction with the Digital ID World Conference being held October 25-28, at the Omni Interlocken Resort Hotel in Denver, Colorado. Trusted Computing implementation helps protect PCs from malicious attack, data theft, fraud and other computer security problems. Hardware authentication enabled by Trusted Computing can further strengthen identity management processes. Millions of systems worldwide have Trusted Computing capabilities, and more applications and products have been announced the past year. “As companies seek stronger security and more effective ways to manage identity issues, Trusted Computing is emerging as a ‘must-have’ for platforms,” noted Phil Becker, editor, Digital ID World magazine, sponsor of the conference. The Digital ID World Trusted Computing seminar, which is free of charge, will be held on Monday, October 25, 1:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m., in the Pine Room. Lark Allen, executive vice president, Wave Systems Corp., and Kevin Schutz, product manager, Atmel Corporation, will give an overview of the TCG and Trusted Computing solutions and applications. Trusted Computing applications and implementation scenarios also will be demonstrated during the discussion. Refreshments will be provided. The seminar will also will highlight Trusted Platform Module (TPM) implementation. TPMs are used in PCs and other systems to store passwords, digital certificates and encryption keys, enabling systems that are more secure than those with software-only solutions. To register, interested attendees should visit the Digital ID World Conference 2004 Registration Page at http://conference.digitalidworld.com/2004/Page.do?id=7. In addition, at the Digital ID World Conference, the Trusted Computing Group will participate in a panel discussion on Trusted Computing on Wednesday, October 27, 2:30 pm – 3:30 pm along with Microsoft and RSA Security. About TCG TCG is an industry standards body formed to develop, define, and promote open standards for trusted computing and security technologies, including hardware building blocks and software interfaces, across multiple platforms, peripherals, and devices. TCG specifications are designed to enable more secure computing environments without compromising functional
