<font size=4 color=#FFFFCC>The TCPA???</font>Are you a pirate? Some of you that visit our site mayvery well be, and to you I say "Be careful, it could cost you." To the others, should you be treated as one? Accorfing to the TCPA we will all be treated as pirats and trusted not at all in the future.I just finished reading my copy of the weekly <a href="http://www.spywareinfo.com/newsletter/archives/feb-2003/22.php" target="_blank">newsletter[/url] from <a href="http://www.spywareinfo.com" target="_blank">SpyWare.Com[/url], which you really need to visit if you haven't already. If nothing else to get the scoop on how to detect and protect against spyware apps on your PC. You might be very surprised.In there is an interesting <a href="http://www.spywareinfo.com/newsletter/archives/feb-2003/22.php#atcpa" target="_blank">section[/url] regarding the <a href="http://www.trustedcomputing.org/tcpaasp4/index.asp" target="_blank">TCPA[/url].Here is a quote from the TCPA site:MissionThrough the collaboration of HW, SW, communications, and technology vendors, drive and implement TCPA specifications for an enhanced HW and OS based trusted computing platform that implements trust into client, server, networking, and communication platforms. BackgroundThe Trusted Computing Platform Alliance, or TCPA, was formed by Compaq, HP, IBM, Intel and Microsoft. All five companies have been individually working on improving the trust available within the PC for years. These companies came to an important conclusion: the level, or "amount", of trust they were able to deliver to their customers, and upon which a great deal of the information revolution depended, needed to be increased and security solutions for PC's needed to be easy to deploy, use and manage. An open alliance was formed to work on creating a new computing platform for the next century that will provide for improved trust in the PC platform.Sound innocent enough, even noble, huh?<p>Go read the <a href="http://www.spywareinfo.com/newsletter/archives/feb-2003/22.php#atcpa" target="_blank">section[/url] I linked...
