IBM Trials TCPA Chip Under Linux

Posted by michael on from the trial-by-fire dept.

keihin writes "From IBM: IBM's Global Security Analysis Lab (GSAL) has done extensive analysis of the Trusted Computing Platform Alliance (TCPA) chip available on some IBM systems. We have the chip running under Linux, and have studied it extensively. In order to clarify a lot of misunderstanding about the chip, we are making available some helpful white papers and open source device drivers for Linux, so that interested people can test and use the chip in an open environment."

    I had previously thought that only Intel was involved in the TCP Alliance, but it's good to see that IBM is on-board as well.
