EFF Position on Trusted Computing

Posted by michael on from the code-is-law dept.

Seth Schoen writes "EFF has just released our analysis of Trusted Computing. We find that the technology could benefit computer security, but must be fixed to ensure that the computer owner is always in control. We also propose a specific way of fixing it. There's coverage of our position at news.com. More articles should be up in the near future at the new EFF Trusted Computing page. Thanks to all the people who helped us understand this technology!"

    i dont understand what the big deal over this is. all your doing is handing your computer over to peoples unknow, and they can be trusted to not wreak havoc with your machine. cant they?
