Alea,

I'm not trying to convince you of anything, I stated my view on what is taking place after much reading on the PC security issues and the TCG goals and concepts.

The Industry and Gov't's are trying to reduce the number of holes in the system as is possible but that Security is a journey not an fixed end point.

It will be in constant flux and evolve.

The TCG products and security architecture is far better than anything that is out there right now so why not get started and soon I say.

Along the way if our favorite stock gets dragged with the movement then I'm all for itSmile

"The white papers and strategy papers concede that the persistent adversary that is well funded will get into your system."

The way it was sold to investors was that you had to have physical access to the machine to break into it. That there were no back doors for sovereigns.

If a well-funded person can access your pc via the network, and indeed if there are back doors in the system, TC has been missold.

And that being the case, enterprise resistance makes sense. Why put up with the restrictions if one doesn't even get robust security?

As regards your answer about the DoD, personally I find it unimpressive. If a TC network isn't secured against the Chinese and the Iranians, then the main reason for adopting TC is removed.

The TC philosophy doesn't make much sense as swiss cheese.
