Hi Alea,

Don't get me wrong, Arm processors with the Rich OS running beside the secure OS (TEE)and interoperating with the Secure Elements and the TPM functionality running as a secure App in the TEE is going to be the global standard JMO. I think Intel is making a big mistake by not embracing this "soon to become global standard". It remains to be seen what Intel will do about the TEE as specified by the Globalplatform org.

The Intel/MacAfee Deep Secure is the proprietary technology in competition with the TCG TPM solution.

As long as the x86 Intel platform has a TPM on the device it allows Wave's products to function.

AMD's adoption of TrustZone was their way into the TEE and the Globalplatform architecture. And as we all know the TCG is working hand in hand with them.

The next piece of the puzzle we are waiting for is what Arm/G&D/Germalto (Trusted Logic) has in mind with their partnership. I believe their partnership will set up the next stage where "Applets" can really start to be used and the TPM/MTM functionality is required to cryprographically sign those applets etc.

That should be very exciting to watch it develop JMO.

Enjoying the tennis!!!!!!!!!

Hi 4321,

I was thinking of tablets/pcs rather than phones. Intel is nowhere in the phone market so not really relevant yet.

Re tablet/pc, isn't the indifference argument a way of saying what I had been saying originally?

But now, per SS, Intel is a competitor of Wave's.

An Intel/McAfee software and services architecture doesn't seem likely to gain purchase on ARM chips.

Therefore, the likelihood is that Intel will make its proprietary trusted services move on its x86 silicon.

I was kinda sold on the argument we should prefer ARM.

Now we've done a 180, and you guys are indifferent to the silicon and I'm the ARM guy?

By the way, Global Platform is still the model for the handset makers, but has it been adopted by the MSPs?

Also, for 2012, it looks like the market's adding MS-based mobile tablets and maybe MS phones for TC. MS is no better than third or fourth in either market. So this is not a huge incremental market to begin with.
