Palladium
I'd seen some of the first news coverage of Microsoft's Palladium. Now Here's an interview with the product manager, Mario Juarez. We regard it as pretty significantly evolutionary, because for the architecture we've got here - a new breed of hardware, new capabilities in the operating system, and over time new applications and services - we think it will provide some very significant things in the way of security, personal privacy, and system integrity.I still don't altogether get it, but there's certainly gonna be a storm until it's clear what the components and services are, where the keys and certifiers reside, and whether this is a thinly-veiled "lock you in the Microsoft trunk forever" play (for which The Register has some justifiable paranoia, although I'm not sure that "Palladium is a means of infesting the commons with hostile digital fauna"). |
