Why Offer Computer Security in Hardware?
In an era of increased national security concerns and weekly reports of malicious attacks on PC systems, companies and consumers rely primarily on software programs to protect corporate and personal information. Unfortunately, these software-based security solutions are still vulnerable to attacks. In contrast, Nationals Trusted I/O devices integrate the TPM into the existing PC architecture (Super I/O), storing the computers identity in silicon and making it virtually impossible for outsiders to locate key information. Hardware solutions provide a stronger foundation for a secure computing infrastructure than stand-alone software systems. This infrastructure provides protected storage of cryptographic or sensitive data, authenticates a host computing device by verifying its identity to other computing devices, and supplies metrics that provide a reliable and trusted network environment.
