IBM usará chips anti hacker para proteger desktops

A IBM planeja começar a entregar seus PCs com um novo chip designado para evitar o roubo de senhas e outras informações pessoais por hackers. Com isso, ela se tornará a primeira empresa a usar o chip SafeKeepfer Trusted I/O Device, o qual armazena dados confidenciais no próprio chip, dificultando seu acesso por pessoas não autorizadas.

IBM plans to start shipping its PCs with a new chip designed to thwart hackers by safeguarding passwords and other sensitive identity information.

Big Blue will be the first computer maker to use National Semiconductor's SafeKeeper Trusted I/O Device, which stores a computer's identity in silicon, making it harder for outsiders to access, the companies announced Thursday. It's adding the technology as part of an upgraded input-output chip, which is a secondary PC chip that shuttles data from various parts of a PC.
