[Demexp-dev] Interesting article on Cell security features

[David MENTRE]

Hello,

IBM has published an interesting article on Cell security features:
http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/power/library/pa-cellsecurity/

This article gives some information on how hardware support could help
building secure software (think secure demexp server or client). Of
course, such technology is not available to us right now (we would
need the proper hardware to store the hardware root key). On this
other side, the Cell will be available in the PlayStation3: being able
to use it would make a low cost, secure demexp server. :-)

Best wishes,
d.
