LWN.net recently published an article regarding the Linux kernel patches that enable Intel’s Trusted Execution Technology (TXT) and verification of the integrity of the kernel before execution, in an article entitled Enabling DRM in the kernel?. The basic problem, from some Linux kernel developers’ points of view at least, is that TXT can be used [...]

A legitimate concern highlighted by Computerworld regarding the TCG’s hard disk self-encryption standards is how do you recover from a lost password. Thankfully, the TCG’s Storage Working Group thought of that, and techniques to alleviate the problem include a way to back up the data securely, and the ability to set a second administrator emergency [...]

For me this is the biggest no-brainer when it comes to looking at deployment of higher-security data protection systems in the enterprise, or even at home. The Trusted Computing Group (TCG) has specified a low-cost solution that implements encryption at the disk drive level. As Roget Kay of Endpoint Technologies says: “I’m surprised that more [...]
