Doma, I wonder how IdentiPHI compare to Envoy as a provider?

I assume Envoy too can provide an "authentication and identity management solution that includes smart card technologies, TPM, single sign-on and card management systems."

Doma,

This sounds like an echo of the application(s) being demo'ed by Giesecke & Devrient at CeBIT:

"The combination of trusted computing with smart card technology shows a lot of complementary advantages," said Andreas Raschmeier, head of Business Development, G&D. "As an integrated part of the motherboard, Trusted Computing Group-specified Trusted Platform Modules (TPMs) provide an early integrity control for software and hardware as well as identity control of the entire PC system. The addition of chip card technology, as a smart card or smart USB token, enhances security by allowing multi-factor authentication. It also enables portable user identification delivering a reliable and flexible security solution."

Doma -

Wave's "Part" of the Super Bundle looks likely
to be ETS Application software as well as
KTM & ACM Server software to provide MACHINE
Authentication & key Management of TPMs....
The other "Part" will provide USER Authentication
& management through Smart Cards & associated
software........

OK so Wave - Machine or Platform
IdentiPHI - User

And in your considered opinion the third leg of the stool - the applet or application authentification goes to whom?

P.S. Many thanks for your huge contribution to the board.
