IBM is announcing Monday that it has developed SecureBlue - a set of
encryption circuitry that can be integrated into any processor,
regardless of its manufacturer.
This thing is trying to be one of the most paranoid devices on the
planet, said Charles Palmer, IBM's head security researcher.
IBM is not the first to seek to integrate encryption into a computer's
central processing functions. Intel Corp.'s upcoming LaGrande
technology essentially does that, though it requires interaction with a
separate chip, known as a trusted platform module.
The IBM researchers say they have developed a way to skip that step.
SecureBlue's design appears flexible enough to bring strong encryption
to such new settings as cell phones and music players.
IBM researchers said SecureBlue already has made its way into one
customer's devices. But they said that company had *_demanded
anonymity_*.
