>From SANS.org emailing list --jack --New Intel Processors Have Security Built In (12 April 2004) Intel's next-generation microprocessors will have a security engine separate from the area in which the general processing occurs. The processors, which are for cellular phones and hand-held computers, will be able to enforce copy protection and guard against wireless network intrusions.

But it is mostly oriented at secure boot, crypto support and secure storage on the chip. Saying it will guard against wireless network intrusions is a reach.] _______________________________________________ BAWUG's general wireless chat mailing list [unsubscribe] http://lists.bawug.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless
