Technically Nicira does both. One of the tunnelling protocols it uses is STT (Stateless Transport Tunnelling) Protocol which they effectively made themselves (and is up for draft in the IETF). It's their mechanism of choice for communicatin

It looks like a scatter-gun approach: shoot out a bunch of products and see what sticks.

>@Orbling, for implementation of a hash dictionary. So collisions should be kept to a minimal, but it has no security purpose at all. – Earlz SHA-1 is very fast though so it is a good point for comparison.

It stops an avenue of piracy sure, it also stops code injecting into the startup which is also cool. The fun bit is going to be all the disk encryption software that will take a hit when people migrate to 8 (unless it's signed).

In short, no. The secure boot is essentially optional from what I've seen so far; put Windows 8 on any old motherboard and it should work. The whole reason this has come about is due to the vulnerability of people faking BIOS IDs and manufa

This has been around for a good while but still gets me reading it every time. It's also a great example of taking an incredibly complex subject and cutting it down to various levels of understanding.

Security leaks happen. The lesson here is treat anything that you put on a machine you don't completely control as being at-risk, even if you pay for top notch security and the vendor guarantees it. The guarantee (and any compensation) isn'

Absolutely agreed, but the industry insiders have to be impartial and use their knowledge and experience to come up with a decision. The question you have to ask is what's the motivation to approve (or deny) a given application or law? If i
