New chip will erase piracy?
In a move which shows he has no actual idea about the breakablity of security technology, Atari boss Nolan Bushnell claims that piracy will become a thing of the past thanks to a new chip. Speaking to the Wedbush Morgan Securities Annual Management Access Conference, Bushnell praised the stealth encryption chip called TPM that is being installed on the motherboards of most computers.

He said this means that the games business will be able to encrypt with an absolutely verifiable private key in the encryption world. This key is uncrackable by people on the Internet. But Bushnell said that such encryption will not work on music and movies because "if you can watch it and you can hear it, you can copy it."

Games are different because they are so integrated with the code. The TPM will, in fact, absolutely stop piracy of gameplay. Of course, this is assuming that very clever people in the piracy industry do not work out a way around it.

....

The attack has been demonstrated to be effective against full disk encryption schemes of various vendors and operating systems, even where a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) secure cryptoprocessor is used.This is because the problem is fundamentally a hardware (memory) and not a software issue. While the focus of current research is on disk encryption, any sensitive data held in memory are vulnerable to the attack....
