This on-going project of the biggest corporations started long time ago and has changed names so many times that it is difficult to even look them up on the Internet. Each time any of their ideas generates strong opposition they change the name of a particular legal bill or technology to sound less threatening / more user-friendly and it comes back to us as something new. What they are working on is a system comprising of technology (both hardware and software) and legal regulations, developed iteratively and incrementally, which in each iteration slightly changes its direction (or an attack vector as one could call it) according to evolutionary pressures (mainly opposition from the society) but in the long run gets nearer and nearer to achieving its planned goal. <br />I am sure you have already read it, Robert, but to all who stumble upon this blog entry and haven’t, here is a nice summary of some of the threats associated with what we are talking about: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trusted_Computing#Criticism" rel="nofollow">this link will take you to wikipedia</a><br />Limes Inferiorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16566802367512396467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3667102307881687103.post-20810444548924325812013-01-18T16:11:43.692+00:002013-01-18T16:11:43.692+00:00Might it not be in fact the case, that (U)EFI, Sec...Might it not be in fact the case, that (U)EFI, SecureBoot (in particular coupled with TPM / DRM) be the currently ongoing realization of Mr. Valenti and "of the best brains in the high-tech industry to do everything that we can legally to protect ourselves"?<br /><br />Of course, (U)EFI etc. gets marketed as being for our own good and useful / essential in connection with uncovering and eventually preventing acts of terrorism. Moreover, SecureBoot is supposed to make using the internet more secure for us all, especially by way of helping prevent/defeat the use of BotNets to carry out DDOS exploits in service of terrorists and criminals. <br /><br />I believe I am not alone in fearing that in fact (U)EFI etc. instead make using the internet not more but less secure.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10112127589866506119noreply@blogger.com
