- PKI is a step in the right direction; tying it inexorably to a laptop is a *massive* step in the wrong direction. The TPM is literally a smart card embedded on the motherboard. Why do that? Instead put a smart card slot on the laptop (better yet a SIM card slot) and use that. Mature industry standard technology, upgrade path for security, and the ability to use YOUR keys anywhere there's a slot, not only on the one laptop you happen to have at that instant. I'd much rather pop my SIM into the new laptop than figure out how to migrate all my keys from this one to another. NIGHTMARE.
- The industry sometimes befuddles me with its "solutions". Yet this TPM bull is what's crammed down my throat. Nice. Not!
