Here is a little background on the WAVX-HP relationship going back to at least 2001:

2001 Apr 13, Wave Systems Corporation has a patented system for E-commerce called EMBASSY. It is a programmable system-in-a-system that enables virtually any platform to serve as a "trusted client." This means that third-party applets can be licensed to run securely inside a hardened EMBASSY on the client side. This puts security, trust, and microtransactional flexibility at the point of consumption. EMBASSY is an enabling technology for the "trusted client" paradigm exemplified by the Trusted Computing Platform Alliance (TCPA) formed by Compaq, HP, IBM, Intel and Microsoft. -24601 (IH14)

2003 Apr 8, AMD, HP, IBM, Intel and Microsoft today announced the formation of a new industry group dedicated to embedding trust and security more broadly into computing platforms and devices. The Trusted Computing Group (TCG) will work to create open standards that can be adopted for use in products and solutions across the spectrum of computing, including PCs, PDAs, servers and digital phones, to enable secure and trusted computing that can protect data, privacy, and individual rights. Wave joined TCG. There were only 11 companies initially invited to TCG, WAVE, being one of them, of course.

If this is a wave/HP bundle wouldn't that merit a PR or other announcment?
