Has anybody heard of tamper-resistant software in general or a method for tamper-resistant software from Intel in particular?
What do you mean by "tamper resistant"?
It means that if you do *ANYTHING* to try and adjust, modify, and/or configure the software, it no longer functions. Sadly, Microsoft has beat them to the punch on this technology. --- | "Remember: You can't have BSDM without BSD." - alan@ctrl-alt-del.com | |"The moral PGP Diffie taught Zimmermann unites all| Disclaimer: | | mankind free in one-key-steganography-privacy!" | Ignore the man | |`finger -l alano@teleport.com` for PGP 2.6.2 key | behind the keyboard.| | http://www.teleport.com/~alano/ | alano@teleport.com |

As far as I know, it has raised the bar, so to speak, but that's all. It may have raised it pretty far, but as we know there's nothing you can't do on untrustable hardware. Which Microsoftware are you referring to, BTW? gee. man.
