Good email from SKS ........................ Posted by: khillo In reply to: micro59 who wrote msg# 140724 Date:4/2/2007 11:41:58 AM Post #of 140733 micro59-I send SKS This article, and asked couple questions his response TPM is a very important tool to address and solve these issues. It however is not a silver bullet. Strong machine authentication and user authentication are critical to reducing rootkits and the benefit of attack. It is cute if you steal control of the machine but if you cant steel the authentication credentials it is harder to compromise an identity. Any software that measures anything on the PC will benefit from the TPM/s ability to provide local measurement reporting. It will however depend strongly on implementation Data that is encrypted is hard to steal and if the keys are on a TPM then they are very hard to steal. If a root kit copies all my data the encrypted data will still be encrypted. So I think I agree with both sides of the conversation and both of them will agree TPM is useful but it depends on implementation and policies to get it right. steven
