Probably not worth emulating a Pentium4 in Java, however, there is bochs to start from. I don't think it does P4 emulation yet, but open source, yadda, yadda, cypherpunks write code, yadda, yadda. :) ----------------------Kaos-Keraunos-Kybernetos--------------------------- + ^ + :NSAs budget is about|Passwords are like underwear.

Similar to DeCSS, only one Palladium chip needs to be reverse engineered and it's key(s) broken to virtualize the machine. Simulate a Pentium VI in Java and all extant code could be accessed. Similarly, is Microsoft's signing keys were cracked then any code could be signed.
If the software needs a real-time connection to the internet though, then protection could be built into it. Laptop applications would be vulnerable until we have pervasive wireless connection.
How many bits do you think MS will use for the keys?
