rustr, Re: That is "spoofing." Now, with my CPU ID number, no one can pretend they are me. I don't think so. I don't know how Intel implement them but it would most likely be something which can be retrieved through some special instruction. The sending of this ID to the peer is still handled by the upper level software. So spoofing is still possible as the receiver side just has no way to verify that the so called 'ID' is really sent from a program running on that particular CPU. One still need some form of public/private key to do this which is by software. Gary
