CBDTPA == TCPA Enablement Act?
Ian Hill writes "This e-mail from Lucky Green, courtesy of Cryptome, provides an interesting look into the Trusted Computing Platform Alliance. It suggests that this is the technology pointed to by Sen. Hollings in his CBDTPA.
Frightening quote: "'trusted' here means that the members of the TCPA trust that the TPM [Trusted Platform Module] will make it near impossible for the owner of that motherboard to access supervisor mode on the CPU without their knowledge, they trust that the TPM will enable them to determine remotely if the customer has a kernel-level debugger loaded, and they trust that the TPM will prevent a user from bypassing OS protections by installing custom PCI cards to read out memory directly via DMA without going through the CPU.""
No. Posting a post just for the sake of having the first post only demonstrates that you have nothing more valuable to do with your time than sit there hitting refresh on your browser over and over again.
Congratulations, you have no life.
Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean there isn't an invisible demon about to eat your face
or is karma whoring getting easier?
