Looks like H-P has their own chip... HP has a SmartCard which plugs into the serial port of you PC. Looks like this could funciton very much like a WAVX chip. Interesting. Wonder why none of us thought of this. It would be much easier for WAVX to retrofit existing PCs than to wait around for OEMS to install the chip on the motherboard. Is this technically feasible?

I believe that an OEM agreement with HWP continues to be possible. The HWP press release today was predominantly focused on the server-side and had virtually nothing to do with client-side technology. Furthermore, the press release only touched briefly on security issues when the HWP subsidiary Verifone summarized its own capabilities, which also function on the server side. There is still a reasonable possibility that HWP will introduce the WaveMeter chip as an encryption engine for client-side PCs. Perhaps this could occur in a press release that is more focused on HWP's overall security framework and strategy. Wahoograd
