Should any newbies read this thread this is a good source of DD on Wave-HP Versecure: FAQ headlines and the link to the FAQ session: hpconnect.com ########################## Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about HP's Security Infrastructure Solution HP & Wave Systems Announcement (October 27, 1998) The Partnership/Technology What is HP and Wave announcing today? What is the relationship between Wave Systems and HP? What is the Wave secure e-commerce architecture? What is the VerSecure security management framework? The "Trusted Client" What is a "trusted client"? Why do you believe a "trusted client" is strategic to the PC industry? The announcement states that the "trusted client" is an inexpensive solution. How much does this technology cost to implement? And who will pay for it? How will the "trusted client" be deployed? Who benefits from this technology platform? PCs today have many security features such as encryption, digital certificates, and password protection. How is a "trusted client" different from these systems? Does the trusted-client system support open standards or is it proprietary? Why is it important to bring security to the desktop? EMBASSY E-Commere System What is the EMBASSY E-Commerce System? What application solutions does the EMBASSY E-Commerce System provide? What other hardware and software companies are supporting the EMBASSY E-Commerce System? How does the EMBASSY E-Commerce System differ from other E-commerce solutions? How does this trusted-client system affect the privacy and security concerns of the user? When will the EMBASSY E-Commerce System be available? Encryption and VerSecure What is encryption? Will devices with trusted-client technology be limited to 40 bits because of the limits of U.S. export rules? How does VerSecure work if the encryption policies of one government differ from those of the U.S? As additional encryption algorithms become available, will trusted-client products be able to implement them? How? Background/Technology What is VerSecure? How is VerSecure different from HP's ICF technology, announced in November of 1996? Is key recovery required in order to use strong encryption with VerSecure technology? What is encryption? How does VerSecure technology benefit HP? Will current applications work with VerSecure units? What are the major benefits of VerSecure technology for business? For consumers? How does HP's "dormant encryption" work? Does HP deliver all the components of VerSecure technology? What is the advantage to the end user of "more expensive" hardware encryption solutions such as VerSecure over less expensive software encryption solutions? Will international encryption be limited to 40 bits because of the limits of U.S. export rules? Does HP supply encryption algorithms as part of its VerSecure technology? Does VerSecure require specific software to be effective? What strength of encryption does VerSecure enable? What cryptography APIs are supported today or will be supported? Business Issues What is the market opportunity worldwide in the creation and selling of encryption products? Why does VerSecure give HP a leadership position? What does HP gain from it? What is the competitive advantage for VerSecure? How does VerSecure technology benefit manufacturers of cryptographic hardware? How does VerSecure benefit software developers? Government Policy Has the U.S. government approved any other encryption framework for export? Will the U.S. government control what encryption is available in foreign countries using VerSecure technology? How does VerSecure work if the encryption policies of one government differ from those of the U.S? Does the Security Domain Authority need to be a government? What assurance that there are no "trap doors" does VerSecure provide to customers? What is significant about the Commerce Department granting HP approval to export VerSecure technology? How does VerSecure technology address privacy issues? How does it address key recovery? As additional encryption algorithms become available, will VerSecure-based products be able to implement them? How? How is VerSecure useful in countries without export controls on cryptography? How does VerSecure technology benefit governments, non-U.S. and U.S.? How does VerSecure technology accommodate changing foreign government security policies?
