Scumby - Re: "There is little risk to competitors because any hardware encryption scheme can be securely emulated in software. " You must be JOKING ! Intel is implementing this in HARDWARE because software security is not capable of the same degree of security. For example - Intel is using a RANDOM NUMBER GENERATOR using the thermal noise from specific circuits on the chip. Software algorithms are restricted to PSEUDO RANDOM NUMBER generators - which can be successfully defeated. Bear in mind - Intel didn't develop this in a vacuum. They have been working with RSA, HP and many of the other key players in the field of secure data transmission. Paul
