Right, but I think people's fears about Active Management are mostly related to personal machines. If you're using a work-issued laptop, you're already more or less at the complete mercy of your IT admins. AMT gives them the ability to make the chokehold they already have over your machine stronger. The really troubling question that I see is how we can ascertain that AMT can't be enabled remotely on an arbitrary machine. Let the conspiracy theories begin. -- Ivan Krstić <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | GPG: 0x147C722D --------------------------------------------------------------------- The Cryptography Mailing List Unsubscribe by sending "unsubscribe cryptography" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
