I'm not deliberately being dense....but I need help understanding this.
How does Wave get paid in the Vpro Paradigm?
How does Vpro technology and a successful implmentation of Citrix central management of 20,000 PCs in Indiana translate to success for Wave?
*Is Wave involvement in this implementation implied?
or is this merely euphoria over the large scale adoption of a TPM-like concept. Vpro does use an actual TPM chip, is Wave IP necessary for Vpro's use in trusted computing execution with Vpro and Citrix - where is Wave's business proposition in this model. Will Wave get to manage fingerprint sign-on and trusted drives in this paradigm?
Lee, MA & San Francisco, CA (Intel Developers Forum, Pro Zone, Booth #737) — August 18, 2008 — Wave Systems Corp. (NASDAQ: WAVX; www.wave.com ) will demonstrate how enterprises can strengthen and simplify their existing wireless and virtual private network (VPN) security by harnessing the built-in technology on platforms featuring Intel® vPro™ technology. This demonstration will illustrate how enterprises can reduce expenses relating to tokens, smart cards or complex authentication schemes by deploying PC platforms with Intel® vPro™ technology in combination with Wave’s EMBASSY® software.
Platforms with Intel® vPro™ technology come with an integrated, industry standard security capability called Trusted Platform Module (TPM), which acts as a tamper-resistant storage vault for user credentials. Working in tandem, Intel® vPro™ platform and EMBASSY® software are designed to enable enterprises to significantly improve wireless and VPN security and reduce overhead expenses by using these secure credentials to strengthen access control at both the local and network level. Similar to tokens and smart cards, the built-in TPM protects digital certificates by securing the user’s private cryptographic keys within the chipset hardware. This functionality is designed to be used in place of external tokens or smart cards and can improve the user access control process.
“Intel® vPro™ technology with Wave’s EMBASSY® software offers enterprises a more effective way to institute a hardware-based ‘trust’ model for access control and data-at rest,” said Brian Berger, Wave’s executive vice president of marketing and sales. “For enterprises using platforms with Intel® vPro technology, Wave provides a simple-to-deploy solution for improving, and reducing the expense of, client management of their wireless and VPN security. This solution is scalable, regardless of the number of users managed.”
“One of the unique aspects of Intel® vPro™ technology is that it offers native support for hardware-based access control using integrated TPM. Enterprises using software-based certificates can significantly strengthen access control for VPN or wireless security by deploying platforms with Intel® vPro™ technology,” said Tom Quillin, Director Client Ecosystem Development, Intel Corporation. “As a result of hardware storage of certificates, enterprises can ensure that only trusted machines are allowed on their networks, no longer having to worry about users sharing or losing network authentication information.”
Lee, MA &San Francisco, CA (Intel Developers Forum, Booths #326, #156, #158) — September 21, 2009 — Wave Systems Corp. (NASDAQ: WAVX; www.wave.com) announced today that it will demonstrate remote, out-of-band management of self-encrypting drives using its client and server software with Intel vPro technology—an advance that is designed to streamline the deployment and management of the new generation of self-encrypting hard drives. The solution is designed to allow a secure network unlock of the drives automatically by an administrator—regardless of whether the PC is powered on or not, and independent of the operating system.
Lee, MA — November 3, 2008 — Wave Systems Corp. (NASDAQ: WAVX; www.wave.com) announced today that an OEM version of its EMBASSY® Trust Suite (ETS) is now bundled with motherboards featuring Intel® vPro™ technology with an integrated Trusted Platform Module (iTPM). The Intel® Desktop Boards DQ45CB and DQ45EK are designed for PCs manufactured primarily by white box distributors, providing users with embedded hardware for improved data protection and strong, multi-factor authentication for network access.
Intel’s Integrated Trusted Platform Module (iTPM) acts as a tamper-resistant storage vault for user credentials. Working in tandem, the iTPM and EMBASSY® software protect digital certificates by securing the user’s private cryptographic keys within the chipset hardware. This functionality is designed to be used in place of external tokens or smart cards and can improve user access control, while reducing overhead expenses. Additional new features for the Intel Desktop DQ45CB and DQ45EK include advanced, pre-boot authentication and single-sign on.
“Wave is very pleased that ETS software is packaged with these desktop motherboards. The Q45 Express chipset has unprecedented security capabilities,” said Brian D. Berger, Wave’s executive vice president of marketing and sales. “By managing the iTPM, organizations with these desktop platforms can institute a hardware-based ‘trust’ model for access control and data-at-rest. For enterprises using platforms with Intel vPro technology, Wave provides a simple-to-deploy solution for improving and reducing the expense of client management of their wireless and VPN security that is scalable, regardless of the number of users managed.”
“Now that Intel® Desktop Boards featuring iTPM have begun shipping, enterprises can take advantage of advanced hardware to strengthen security for protecting the client information and access to it,” said Clem Russo, Intel’s vice president and general manager of Channel Desktop Platforms Group. “Wave’s ETS software has been included on these platforms to provide customers an option for easily unlocking the security benefits of the TPM.”
So are we excited because we are getting a a software distribution fee? and then have the possibilty of managing SSD FDEs?
Lee, MA & San Francisco, CA (Intel Developers Forum, Pro Zone, Booth #737) — August 20, 2008 — Wave Systems Corp. (NASDAQ: WAVX; www.wave.com) announced today that it will demonstrate a pre-production data theft protection and remote, out-of-band management solution for platforms with Intel® vPro™ technology for enterprise and small to-mid-sized businesses (SMB).
Wave will showcase pre-production management and data protection capabilities for platforms with Intel® Anti-Theft Technology—advanced, integrated hardware-based security technology—using Wave EMBASSY Remote Administration Server (ERAS) and its client EMBASSY Trusted Drive Manager (TDM). Demonstrations will take place at Wave’s kiosk in the Pro Zone.
The prototype EMBASSY software demonstration will show how enterprises can roll out a fully integrated and managed solution for advanced hardware based data protection, allowing for pre-boot authentication, secure remote management and authenticated, remote unlock of encrypted data using industry standard serial ATA (SATA) disk drives. This combined solution will offer best-in-class security without the cost and management overhead of software based full disk encryption (FDE).
“Wave Systems is pleased to be working with companies like Intel in demonstrating powerful and flexible solutions to protect against data theft in a far more secure fashion,” said Steven Sprague, president and CEO of Wave Systems. “By combining upcoming Intel® vPro™ Technology platforms with ERAS, we plan to deliver what companies have been looking for in a PC to enable maximum security coupled with optimal manageability, which all begins at the hardware-based level.”
Wave demonstrations in the Pro Zone will also showcase Intel® Advanced Management Technology (AMT), which allows for out-of-band management and upcoming Intel® Anti-Theft Technology, which provides data protection working seamlessly together with the Wave EMBASSY suite of software.
“Taking advantage of upcoming capabilities of Intel vPro technology will enable Wave to deliver more secure hardware-based data protection solutions for large and small businesses alike,” said Tom Quillin, director, Intel Client Ecosystem Enabling.
