Phoenix executives said Wednesday that they've developed a prototype version of its Core Management Environment (cME) using DRM technology in conjunction with Orbid Corp., a DRM technology provider. The software was designed to assist content providers to authenticate and track software moving from PC to PC. Although DRM technology has moved steadily forward, consumers have had some choice whether to implement it. Selected software providers in various markets, such as Intuit and Macromedia, have chosen to implement DRM, allowing consumers to choose DRM-less alternatives. Phoenix's efforts, however, represent a more fundamental sea change. Phoenix is a manufacturer of BIOS software, the underlying code which ties together a PC's operating system and the system hardware. Since a personal computer must have BIOS installed to boot, a user could be forced to use the DRM technology whether he or she chooses to or not. The final version of the cME is due to launch in the fourth quarter, Timothy D. Eades, senior vice-president of corporate marketing for Phoenix, said in an interview. Phoenix's customers include four out of the top five PC OEMs. Dell Computer uses a heavily-modified Phoenix BIOS from 1988 on its notebooks and desktops, a Dell spokesman confirmed, and Phoenix BIOSes have appeared in Pavilion desktops and notebooks from Hewlett-Packard. The Phoenix-Orbid deal was designed to allow content providers the ability to track and trace content which might be shared from one user to the next, Eades said. DRM seems to be becoming a bigger and bigger issue, particularly in...entertainment, Eades said. Track and trace downloads and the authentication of those downloads is a big issue, but a number of companies do that. Track and trace of a particular solution, however, is done by very few companies. The Orbid DRM software will be built into the cME, which provides an enhanced BIOS that allows greater interaction with the operating system. While the cME isn't directly a part of Microsoft's Next-Generation Secure Computing Base (NGSCB), known previously as Palladium, Eades said the technology is complementary. Orbid's 4DRM software creates a secure area to store public keys, which can be used to tie any file to that specific PC. The 4DRM system creates a unique identifier for both the content as well as the system, allowing the content providers to manage the content on a user's PC. Orbid previously developed watermarking solutions to identify content and prevent it from being distributed or copied, which it calls gray trading. Phoenix and Orbid have created a working version of the software that Phoenix is now demonstrating for its OEM customers, Eades said. The DRM software will be shipped as a default option inside the cME package. It's up to the OEM whether or not to insert it on the machine, he said. We are offering it as a default option and it's up to them to remove it. An OEM will also have to decide whether or not to allow an end user to turn the DRM feature off, Eades said. Whether or not OEMs will adopt the new technology remains to be seen. Microsoft's NGSCB technology is currently tied to Longhorn, Microsoft's OS revision due in about two year's time. At Dell, the company purchased a BIOS solution from Phoenix in 1988, and since then has assigned Dell engineers to update it with support for the latest hardware, a spokesman said. We make it pretty clear that Dell writes the BIOS for a particular system, he said. Intel ships BIOSes designed by Phoenix rival AMI with its desktop motherboards, an Intel spokesman said. Intel will discuss its own security solution, LaGrande, at its Intel Developer Forum in two weeks' time.

What happens is you go to a local convenience store and purchase a Lotto ticket for a US $1 a ticket. They usually have 6 numbers on them from 1 to 40 or so. Then once a week they draw numbers out of a contraption that has a bunch of numbered ping pong balls in it and you hope that the six you picked (or had randomly generated) on your ticket are the same six that pop up out of the ball machine. Is so you win the jackpot of generally some tens to hundreds of millions of dollars. Most people don't win. Thus you have to pretty lucky if you do. The chances of winning aren't that bad: 1:3838380 Mm, my statistics is a little rusty, but wouldn't the chances be rather worse? Order matters, so we want permutations, not combinations. So, 40_P_6 = 40!/(40 - 6)! = 40!/34! = 2,763,633,000 40_C_6 = 40!/(6! * (40 - 6)!) = 40!/(6! * 34!) = 3,838,380 Kurt -- Experience is the worst teacher. It always gives the test first and the instruction afterward. ___ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc - http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users ___ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc - http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
