and recent article from Google Cloud Google Infrastructure Security Design Overview https://cloud.google.com/security/security-design/ Hardware Design and Provenance A Google data center consists of thousands of server machines connected to a local network. Both the server boards and the networking equipment are custom-designed by Google. We vet component vendors we work with and choose components with care, while working with vendors to audit and validate the security properties provided by the components. We also design custom chips, including a hardware security chip that is currently being deployed on both servers and peripherals. These chips allow us to securely identify and authenticate legitimate Google devices at the hardware level. ... snip ... there is stuff about authentication chip in these patents ... started out for payments ... but then evolved into generalized use with any kind of situation/paradigm requiring authentication http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/aadssummary.htm trivia, TD to DDI Information Assurance Directorate is doing assurance panel in the Trusted Computer Tract at past IDF and asks me to do a talk. http://web.archive.org/web/20011109072807/http://www.intel94.com/idf/spr2001/sessiondescription.asp?id=stp+s13 guy heading up TPM is in the front row, so I quip that it is nice to see that the TPM is starting to look more & more like my chip, he quips back that I don't have 200 people helping me with the design. other related posts http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/x959.html#aadsstraw -- virtualization experience starting Jan1968, online at home since Mar1970 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
