Bruce Schneier’s first comment on Palladium

~”For now, I leave you with my three main questions. One: security for who? Looks like this system is more about security for Microsoft and Disney than security for the owner of the computer. Two: Does Microsoft realize that fancy crypto hardware doesn’t automatically fix software bugs? Do they remember the bugs that plagued their last attempt at code signing: ActiveX? Three: what are the antitrust issues surrounding taking public protocols and replacing them with Microsoft-owned protocols? Still, there are a lot of really good ideas in Palladium, if we can ensure that they’re used in the right ways.”
