May1sep2--Thanks. Well, since you agree with the basic thrust of my posts over the years no doubt you'll agree that the vast amount of resources devoted to TVTonic since 1999 will soon be shown not to have been a massive brain fart and staggering misallocation of capital (this subtle description I think fairly depicts the embedded knee jerk standard belief of most folks who religiously follow this company). TVTonic has always been about hardware authentication, applet metering, back office, Interoperability, and world wide single sign on of premium content delivered from the Cloud. Architecturally, Intel's Insider is pure WAVE.
Intel's Sandy Bridge, Google's Chrome OS and Trustzone are explicitly based on trusting computing architecture and therefore constitute the type of massive tectonic drivers required to launch Trusted Computing Paradigm.
The two articles I have posted are great teasers of what I think will come to pass this year....the military industrial complex has provided much of the fantastic R&D, but the Trusted Computing Revolution will launch in a more mundane setting: inside the bright lit aisles of Best Buy, Target, Walmart.....
Intel Design Gives Hollywood Movie-Download Security
By Ian King - Jan 3, 2011
Intel Corp., aiming to alleviate Hollywood’s concerns about piracy, is building security into a new chip design that would let Warner Bros. and other studios sell high-definition movies online for viewing on computers.
The chipmaker will announce the Intel Insider....
"Intel developed the technology by adapting security features designed for business computers. By building those features into semiconductors, they are harder to thwart than software-only protections, he said"
Wave to Demonstrate Uses of Intel® Core™ vPro™ Processors for Secure Authentication from the PC to the Cloud at Intel Developer Forum 2010
Lee, MA — September 13, 2010 — Wave Systems Corp. (NASDAQ:WAVX www.wave.com) today announced that it will show a wide range of security capabilities in development that include device-based authentication to secure the client PC, secure remote access to the corporate domain, and strong, hardware-based federated access to both corporate and public cloud services. The series of demonstrations will take place at the Intel Developer Forum (IDF) 2010 (booth # 679) at Moscone Center West, San Francisco, Sept. 13-14.
Notebook and desktop PCs with Intel® Core™ vPro™ processors enable IT to take advantage of hardware-assisted security and manageability capabilities that enhance their ability to maintain, connect and protect business PCs. Wave’s client and server software utilizes this native hardware security so that any IT department can meet its strong authentication needs throughout the enterprise. This includes establishing more secure, managed access to the client PC, establishing hardware-based strong authentication to the domain, and ensuring that only hardware-authenticated users are allowed access to corporate cloud services. The ability to strongly identify both the user and/or the device based on tamper-resistant hardware authentication is essential to combating the risks associated with putting more and more information in cyber space.
Intel Design Gives Hollywood Movie-Download Security
By Ian King - Jan 3, 2011 Intel Corp., aiming to alleviate Hollywood’s concerns about piracy, is building security into a new chip design that would let Warner Bros. and other studios sell high-definition movies online for viewing on computers.
The chipmaker will announce the Intel Insider feature this week at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, said Tom Kilroy, head of sales at the Santa Clara, California-based company. Warner Bros. will use the technology as part of a plan to make more than 300 titles available in February.
The feature is designed to prevent illegal copying of high- definition films, providing the assurance studios need to make more movies available on the Internet, Kilroy said. For Intel, the technology gives consumers another reason to upgrade their computers, and may help the company maintain its edge over rival Advanced Micro Devices Inc.
“Online distribution is where all of the growth is,” Kilroy said. “This is a major breakthrough.”
Computer users will be able to watch movies with the highest-available resolution, 1080p, he said. It also will work with services such as Best Buy Co.’s CinemaNow. Intel is talking with other studios to get them on board, Kilroy said.
Intel developed the technology by adapting security features designed for business computers. By building those features into semiconductors, they are harder to thwart than software-only protections, he said.
“This provides a strong level of security” that wasn’t available previously, Darcy Antonellis, president of technical operations at Warner Bros., said in an interview.
WiDi Upgrade
Intel also will introduce a higher definition of its so- called WiDi technology, which allows laptop users to beam whatever is on their computer screen to a nearby television, Kilroy said.
The movie feature is part of Intel’s latest processor design, called Sandy Bridge, which will debut at the show. The design features built-in graphics for the first time, stepping up competition with developers of add-in graphics cards. Intel gets more than 90 percent of its revenue from computer chips.
Wave to Demonstrate Uses of Intel® Core™ vPro™ Processors for Secure Authentication from the PC to the Cloud at Intel Developer Forum 2010

The ability to strongly identify both the user and/or the device based on tamper-resistant hardware authentication is essential to combating the risks associated with putting more and more information in cyber space.
“Intel Core vPro processors offer intelligent security and management technologies,” said Lisa Watts, director of Ecosystems Enabling, Intel Corporation. “These native features give IT a powerful set of tools to address looming cyber security threats, and to adapt to a changing computing environment marked by the migration of services and applications to the Cloud, and an increasingly mobile workforce.”
Demos in Focus: Out of Band Management; Secure Remote Access; Strong User ID for Web Single Sign-On
Use of vPro Advanced Management Technology (AMT) for Pre-boot Network Management of Self Encrypting Hard Drives (SEDs): SEDs provide great protection of local data on devices and ensure strong authentication to the PC. Wave’s client software has an embedded communication and control interface with AMT that enables secure out-of-band communications with the client PC. Capabilities include “wake on LAN,” (where a PC that has been turned off is “awakened” for routine maintenance and diagnostics), secure “unlock” and management of SEDs on the network, and secure out-of-band user recovery. Benefits to the enterprise include state-of-the-art encryption and user authentication, without compromising manageability. Secure Remote Access Using Windows 7: Many companies have their own virtual private networks (VPNs) to accommodate the needs of remote employees and distant offices. A key feature of Windows 7 is Direct Access, which gives mobile users seamless access to the corporate domain without using a third-party VPN. Wave has enhanced Microsoft Direct access to leverage the secure authentication capabilities of the Trusted Platform Module (TPM), a hardware security component on all business-class Intel motherboards. By leveraging the TPM’s key protection capabilities, a strong device identity can be achieved ensuring that only known devices are connected to the corporate domain prior to user authentication. Strong Authentication between the User, the User’s PC and the Application in the Cloud: Wave will demonstrate how users can authenticate to cloud services like Google Apps without a UserID and password—by using their PC as a token. This capability provides the user with a great experience of “click and enter,” while giving IT the advanced security controls to ensure that only authorized users and policy-managed computers have access. Cryptographic binding is accomplished using SAML 2.0 and Intel vPro technology. This demonstration shows how user certificates housed in the TPM can be provisioned from the Microsoft Certificate Authority to provide strong authentication to Google Apps. Strong Machine ID for Greater Security of OpenID: Wave will demonstrate strong, hardware-based authentication using OpenID to public sites that support OpenID credentials. As an OpenID credential is bound to the user’s PC, the user gains the ease of access of a universal single sign-on for account creation and persistent access to over 50,000 websites. No longer do users have to worry about multiple passwords, as their PC becomes the universal access token. By storing the private keys in hardware, Intel vPro technology ensures that the user’s identity cannot be stolen from his PC via malware or guest users. As OpenID continues to grow in use, the protection of the single sign-on credential with hardware will be paramount. Wave will demonstrate how OpenID credentials can be provisioned into the TPM on a vPro platform via the browser, using Wave’s Cloud-based, high-assurance OpenID provider, id.wave.com.
