I have always been skeptical of this observer-chip approach, because it wasn't clear that it was feasible to make a tamper-resistant chip economically, and because the specialized hardware that would be required would prevent the system from being used on widely-available PCs. Think "PCMCIA" here.. not just laptops, but now desktop systems and palmtop systems are starting to get PCMCIA slots these days. - Bill
