You will probably need to re-install the OS from CDROM on the new machine. Which shouldn't be a big problem, since chances are that you didn't do a large amount of customization on the 3DES encrypted OS binary, anyway. As for your application data, you typically should be able to go back to the application vendor, assuming your maintenance license is current, to have the vendor re-bind your data file encryption keys to the new TPM. I am not aware of any such plans for non-user generated data, such as purchased entertainment content, but then requiring the user to repurchase such data when changing motherboards is not incompatible with the content providers' business models. --Lucky Green - The Cryptography Mailing List Unsubscribe by sending "unsubscribe cryptography" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Only that data that you choose to associate with that specific computer. This is a very useful privacy protecting feature. Of course another use of that feature, more useful to large corporations and less useful to yourself is that those corporations can sell you programs and entertainment content that can only be read on that machine, and ceases to exist when that machines trusted chip is fried -- they can sell you data that will be associated with that particular computer, even though you would prefer it not to be so associated. --digsig James A.

What's wrong is the backups are presumably encrypted in a way that requires the cooperation of MS to read it on a machine other than the originator. I'm not at all likely to become US president but if I were I'd consider this an issue worth nuking Redmond for in office hours with no warning. -- ## # Antonomasia ant notatla.demon.co.uk # # See http://www.notatla.demon.co.uk/# ## - The Cryptography Mailing List Unsubscribe by sending "unsubscribe cryptography" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: "Wild and Crazy": Interview with Palladium's Mario Juarez
I think his comment is can you cannot backup the key. Maybe the answer is that the key is in the processor and you must 1. get a new identity whenever you change processor chips and 2. that moving disks from machine to machine is not possible, only plaintext copy. Seems workable to me :^( On Tue, 2002-07-02 at 16:08, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > > In other words, when the MB is fried because of some freak electrical > > surge, I'm screwed, because I can't put the HD into another machine > > and get the data off it? > > What's wrong with your backups? :-) > > This is like a problem Windows already has: if you move a disk onto > different hardware, more often than not you can't boot because the > wrong Hardware Adaptation Layer info is in the disk's boot sector.

What's wrong with your backups? :-) This is like a problem Windows already has: if you move a disk onto different hardware, more often than not you can't boot because the wrong Hardware Adaptation Layer info is in the disk's boot sector. At least you can recover the data by mounting it as a second disk. /ji - The Cryptography Mailing List Unsubscribe by sending "unsubscribe cryptography" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
