This isn't surprising...they're both members of the Trusted Computing Group consortium and need one another (along with hardware/chipset manufacturers of which they are plenty) to further the initiative.

Call me an alarmist, but they're something not quite right about this information. I feel like specifics/details are being deliberately left out of the article.

The article makes mention of this effort being part of the Trustworthy Computing initiative, but doens't make specific mention of how it ties into the TCG specifications and standards. Also, the description of the technology is sparse...is this RSA's SecureID with different branding or a new technology that evolved from the MS-RSA collaboration but is based on SecureID? This also comes not too long after the big MS ASN vulnerability release by eEye which affected kerberos.

Does anyone have any detailed information re: the technology this topic outlines?
