LSEC - Leaders in Security

Change of date : December 11th, 2008

The Trusted Computing Initiative is reaching the market. Trusted Computing is a collaboration of a number of large computer manufacturers such as HP and Sony, that had the objective to increase the level of securitity by building in security potential on a hardware level. Some of these measures have been built in, into the most recent laptops and could facilitate and number of solutions and tools that allow for a better security measurement.
The idea of embedding security on a hardware level is not new, and is gaining increasing ground. Separate dedicated co-crypto-processors do exist today, and will be available more towards the future. But also the process of securing the chip development itself and securing some of the programmable chips today and towards the future should be considered.
During this seminar a number of those topics will be considered and investigated, with the objective to understand the opportunities and potential that embedded security can offer today and towards the future.

This seminar is LSEC’s efforts in expanding into the world of safe security engineering, and effort to raise the awareness on all levels and throughout both end consumer, developers and the business community on the needs for information security in the world.
