Why is this being sent to cypherpunks? Its totally irrelevant.
It's related to IBM's work on machine/code interface security, encryption and authentication capabilities.
No it isn't. Its just an operating system microkernel. These typically just provide very low level process abstractions to allow device drivers and operating system interfaces to be built as processes. It has nothing WHATSOEVER to do with cryptography. I realize that the word "code" appeared in the article, but just because the word "code" gets used doesn't mean we are talking about cryptography. By the way, learn how to spell "kernel". Perry
