The nCipher press release states that they are providing HP with a cryptographic accelerator for the server end, particularly for banks, financial institutions and e-commerce sites. HP is apparently speaking with Wave about adoption of the Wave chip as a low-cost encryption devise for the PC client end. HP's e-commerce security initiative, endorsed by most of the industry, would likely include different cryptographic hardware and software solutions at different price levels depending upon the specific needs of the buyer. If the Wave chip were to be adopted by HP then it would presumably be implemented across the board for all types of e-commerce. At around $3 apiece, it would probably become a general or standard solution for the PC end, whereas more expensive devises for the server might vary according to the particular needs of the buyer's business.

Sounds like using an atom bomb to kill a fly.... Can't see this product offering cheap cryptography to individuals as a plug in peripheral card + would have to convince individuals to give up some of their peripheral slots. Anyway in the SCSI format they seem to be aiming at corporate/networked environments mostly. Sounds as if it would be the bees knees in corporate servers. I'd reckon at $3-4 a throw with crypto + metering functionality, the home PC/TV is still is still Wave's for the taking. Paul.
