RE: Call off the dogs--authentication solution already in enterprise-class PCs

Stapkeeper 16th Sep 2008

big brother? I disagree. what is different about the TPM on your PC when compared to giving your credit card info to a wesite with some $7/hr pimply faced kid on the other end managing your personal info?

The difference is the "alleged" big brother (the TPM) is on your PC, and the website doesn't have your personal credentials anymore.

That sounds like anti-big brother to me...

So currently you give it up more easily than a $5 ...ahem... on the street corner and spout on about big brother. You sound like a hypocrite.

I'd rather keep all my personal data to myself and simply send an authentication to eBay that I "have money available and can be trusted", and only send an address which is all they need to get my product to me.
