Thanks for all this effort. When we released the Cold Boot paper, a few of us thought that hardware memory controllers with built-in crypto for the stuff in DIMMs would be the norm in no time. Boy were we wrong! I guess soon it will be XBox360 and Tails users who are safe. ;-) All the best, Jacob _______________________________________________ tails-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mailman.boum.org/listinfo/tails-dev
