Ten,

We sure could use an official explanation or FAQ from Intel describing the benefits, pitfalls, and safeguards behind the new digital ID's on the CPU's. If the digital ID is accessible via software, why it will be used in digital security is beyond me.

Intel has some of the top people in the encryption business working for them. This scheme has been in the works for many years now, and is quite carefully thought out from a technical viewpoint.

As with all other encryption matters, the big hurdle is always the politics rather than the engineering.
