Actually, I kind of expect an open-source kernel, in addition to commercial security products. Microsoft won't let you in the 64-bit Windows kernel? Run your own kernel next to it.
A TPM chip is basically a cryptoprocessor providing crypto functions and key storage, among few other things, that can help applications perform crypto operation is a more secure way. You can write a driver for it, and actually, there are drivers for Windows plate-forms, and Vista provides TPM v1.2 support. But I was not referring to the overall idea of Trusted Computing as you seem to, as protection offered mostly relies on the quality of software. Having trusted OS/applications is great, as long as they're not vulnerable. In that later situation, you'll just get trustfully flawed software... -- http://sid.rstack.org/ PGP KeyID: 157E98EE FingerPrint: FA62226DA9E72FA8AECAA240008B480E157E98EE
