Under TPM
SecurityFocus reported on the presence of a flaw in Intel’s Trusted Execution Technology. The researchers Rafal Wojtczuk and Joanna Rutkowska of Invisible Things Lab, said that they had: found flaws in specific Intel system software (corrected) and a design issue that, together, would allow an attacker to “compromise the integrity” of any software loaded by [...]

Under TPM
Wave have recently announce that they have signed an OEM deal with Intel to ship their EMBASSY Trust Suite (ETS) bundled with Intel’s vPro motherboards DQ45CB and DQ45EK with built-in integrated Trusted Platform Module, or iTPM for short. I’ve covered Wave Systems’ products a number of times before, so check the linked archive for other [...]

Under Virtualisation
Intel and Oracle have joined together to work on implementing standards for security and efficiency in cloud computing. In a nutshell, cloud computing allows you to run an application anywhere on a set of computers out there on the internet. When you add trusted computing, in particular trusted computing with a Trusted Platform Module (TPM), [...]

For a change, some good news about trusted computing, this time from IT Pro and written by Simon Bisson and Mary Branscombe. The article starts by painting a picture of having a second operating system on a PC that has a smaller feature set and will only run trusted applications, like Microsoft’s Palladium, or Next [...]

Under Virtualisation
The official Intel research blog recently had a rather interesting article from Ravi Sahita regarding how to use Intel’s technology to build a more secure software environment. The article is a bit heavy on Intel tech buzzwords as one might expect, but the content is nonetheless worth reading. The premise of the article is how [...]
