Major PC Makers Adopt Trusted Computing Schema

Posted by Zonk on Thursday March 17, 2005 @03:13AM from the can-I-borrow-a-cup-of-data? dept.

An anonymous reader wrote to let us known about a News.com story regarding so-called trusted computing, and its adoption by the major PC manufacturers. From the article: "The three largest computer makers--Dell, Hewlett-Packard and IBM--have started selling desktops and notebooks with so-called trusted computing hardware, which allows security-sensitive applications to lock down data to a specific PC." Interestingly, while Microsoft is said to be behind the idea support won't be forthcoming for trusted computing until they release Longhorn next year, making this a hardware-vendor lead initiative.

How does this tin foil hat rant get modded up? Did you watch South Park last night? You sound just like those stoner hippies ranting about how the govt. and corporations are all out to get them.
