  Signs of 'Trustworthy Computing'
Time: 13:48 EST/18:48 GMT | News Source: Wired | Posted By: Robert Stein

European consumers will soon get a first taste of what Bill Gates meant by "Trustworthy Computing." NEC Computing International has announced a trial program in which Packard Bell PCs will be equipped with keyboards that include secure smart-card readers.

Microsoft chairman Bill Gates launched the company's Trustworthy Computing initiative earlier this year in a widely distributed e-mail to staff. But developers of secure systems -- a field not coincidentally known as "trusted computing" -- say Microsoft's plans will go nowhere without new hardware that addresses fundamental security problems in the PC's aging architecture.
