Features - Trust Linux!
,----[ Quote ]
| A team of researchers has implemented
| support for âtrusted computingâ in a
| commercially available version of the open
| source operating system Linux, breaking new
| ground in the global drive toward more
| secure computing environments.
|
| The latest release of openSUSE, a Linux
| version sponsored by software maker Novell,
| comes packaged with software that allows
| users to set up a trusted computing (TC)
| environment on their computer, enhancing
| security beyond the antivirus programs and
| firewalls that frequently prove inadequate
| at keeping bugs, viruses and spyware at
| bay.

Microsoft's metered pay-as-you-go patent. It's Trusted Computing Mark Two but
worse
,----[ Quote ]
| All your data are us, and now your hardware too
|
| If you thought that details of trusted computing were grim the patent to
| impose a charging structure on a PCâs hardware relative to software usage
| would tax the greatest genius of Jesuitical causitry. If you were impressed
| by the talents of now defunct investment bankers to leverage profit from
| packaged sub prime pyramid schemes then Microsoftâs wheeze would earn them a
| place on the board of Lehman Brothers.

Trusted Computing Not So Trustworthy
,----[ Quote ]
| As pretty much anyone in computer security recognizes, any bit of "secure"
| computing is only secure for a limited period of time.
