orda,
are you reading my mind????
I could not have said it any better!
Alea,
You give Wave and SKS way too much credit. They are not pulling the strings in this game. Hell, the GlobalPlatform are just putting the finishing touches on a frame work that acually describes Trusted Execution Environments for Trusted Applications.
Those applications will run in secured environments in secured devices. How do you create secured devices starting in the BIOS? I know you know the answer the TPM/MTM and even better if you have a SED.
Citrix/Geenhills Software/LynuxWorks are binding their hypervisors to the TPM for Trusted booting.
The problem in MHO as orda stated, is it will take the Gov't or DOD or the defense contractors to actually mandate the use of multi-layered security (utilizing the TPM) and I think the products further up the IT "stack" from Wave and the hardware needs to be more mature or ready.
How else can you explain it? SKS/incompetence does not do it for me.
