barge: They did...

"... On May 29, 2012, Wave Systems Corp.

Evidently, Samsung is the first TPM OEM using the Wave TCG Software Stack. More will likely be on board when TPM 2.0 becomes widely available.

barge, FWIW, the NTRU TSS sheet you posted has a doc date of Mar2011.

I have no idea if what awk is saying is, or it the 8k can just as easily mean that they are bundling a licensed CTSS from NTRU, or where the source is for NTRU freezing TSS development (it seems one could freeze 1.2 because they are moving on, but I;m no engineer), but assuming awks goods are true, then that would be another infusion of the tendrils of Wave into these lower TC levels.

I had hoped Wave would buy NTRU years ago, but its not like they had the money back then.

So it looks like (although one cannot be sure) but it looks like Wave is trying to take over the NTRU TSS space. I have no idea how that sits with Secure Innovations. It would seem it would be a few pennies for every non-Inf chip out there.
