  Busting the FUD about Vistas DRM
Time: 10:34 EST/15:34 GMT | News Source: ZDNet | Posted By: Robert Stein

Is it bad reporting, bad research, or something worse? Thats the question I asked myself when I read this NetworkWorld account of Peter Gutmanns presentation at the Usenix Security Symposium last week. Gutmann is a researcher in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Auckland in New Zealand who specializes in encryption (on his home page, he describes himself as a Professional Paranoid). Gutmann generated a lot of heat last December with the publication of a paper that called Windows Vistas Content Protection scheme the longest suicide note in history. He updated it in April, mostly to call his critics names, and he updated it yet again yesterday with a top-of-the-page slam at my ZDNet colleague George Ou, who took exception with some of Gutmanns claims yesterday (see Claim that Vista DRM causes full CPU load and global warming debunked!).
