The beginning of the end for "Trusted Module Computing"? not quite :p Christopher Tarnovsky, the guy at the center of the whole NDS Vs Echostar (and others) smart card fiasco has been meddling again and found some interesting ways about the TPMs, for a guy who started off pirating sat tv cards in the mid 90's his come along way, I've been following him for quite some years now, he never ceases to amaze me... if he could get that "i p()wn" attitude out the way he be ok, though his not the only I know like that, sad but true :(

A TPM thingy, looks crap to me :

"Trusted Platform Module based cryptography protects your secrets as well as your government’s secrets.  Well, it used to. Christopher Tarnovsky figured out how to defeat the hardware by spying on its communications. This requires physical access so it’s not quite as bad as it sounds, but this does reach beyond TPM to many of the security chips made by Infineon.  This includes peripheral security chips for Xbox 360 and some chips used in cell phones and satellite TV."
