I noticed an interesting post on LWN.net about Nokia’s new Maemo operating system, as presented at FOSDEM’10.
The description of the way that the system boots, such that it can distinguish between a trusted system that allows trust-related facilities to operate and an untrusted system that allows user kernels to run but doesn’t support security-sensitive operations [...]

The only thing worse than being talked about is not being talked about.
I am disappointed that there doesn’t seem to be an official comment from Infineon on their web site regarding this attack.

The official Trusted Computing Group blog had a summary post setting the tone for the year, looking at whether this year will be the year Trusted Computing hits the mainstream.
As highlighted, Full Disk Encryption is undoubtedly going to big this year, and the Greater China Regional Forum looks promising. If one considers the recent spat [...]

As I suspected, after a positive article on openSUSE’s support for Trusted Computing, the backlash has come from the charmingly-entitled Boycott Novell blog.
SUSE is sponsored by Novell, so given the name of the blog and the nature of the more ardent free software promoters it’s not surprising when they say things like:

Here’s an interesting article I stumbled across on eWeek about a security wish list for the next version of Internet Explorer. Scott Crawford, an analyst with Enterprise Management Associates, had this to say:

Cloud Computing is one of these wooly terms that can mean just about anything, but in this article in Reuters’ Great Debate series Piers Linney tries to define it. Cloud Computing and Trusted Computing have quite a bit in common, as Rainier, one of the commenters, points out:

The article in question on Reporting the World Over covers openSUSE’s support for the TPM and the OpenTC project. The openSUSE aspect is covered by this quote:
“openSUSE is now the first operating system to offer full TC support,” Petautschnig notes. “Until now, TC had been implemented for specific applications, such as Microsoft’s BitLocker hard drive [...]

Please take the following report from China Economic Net entitled Make digital life safe and worriless with a suitably large pinch of salt! Note that the Chinese TCM, Trusted Cryptography Module, is not related to the Trusted Computing Group’s TPM, Trusted Platform Module! Sample quotes are:
