Microsoft pushes `trusted computing' | |
|

| Time: 17:09 EST/22:09 GMT | News Source: E-Mail | Posted By: Todd Richardson | ||

Your next personal computer may well come with its own digital chaperone.
As PC makers prepare a new generation of desktop computers with built-in hardware controls to protect data and digital entertainment from illegal copying, the industry is also promising to keep information safe from tampering and help users avoid troublemakers in cyberspace.
Silicon Valley — led by Microsoft and Intel — calls the concept ``trusted computing." The companies, joined by IBM, Hewlett-Packard, Advanced Micro Devices and others, argue that the new systems are necessary to protect entertainment content as well as safeguard corporate data and personal privacy against identity theft. Without such built-in controls, they say, Hollywood and the music business will refuse to make their products available online. | ||
