——————————————————————————————

Here we will try to untangle the whole subject and concentrate us on the core points. Most it’s impossible to understand the network of technologies, companies and laws at a whole.

The technology:
TCPA stands for Trusted Computing Platform Alliance. For the technology we will speak from TCP (The trusted computing platform). This plans that every computer will have a TPM (Trusted Platform Module), also known as Fritz-Chip, built-in. At later development stages, these functions will be directly included into CPUs, graphiccards, harddisks, soundcards, bios and so on. This will secure that the computer is in a TCPA-conform state and that he checks that it’s always in this state. This means: On the first level comes the hardware, on the second comes TCPA and then comes the user. The complete communication works with a 2048 bit strong encryption, so it’s also secure enough to make it impossible to decrypt this in realtime for a longer time. This secures that the TCPA can prevent any unwanted software and hardware. The long term result will be that it will be impossible to use hardware and software that’s not approved by the TCPA. Presumably there will be high costs to get this certification and that these would be too much for little and mid-range companies. Therefore open-source and freeware would be condemned to die, because without such a certification the software will simply not work. In the long term only the big companies would survive and could control the market as they would like.
Some could think that it should be possible to get around this security. But probably they would be proved they’re wrong. Until now there’re no such hardware-implemented security systems and actual security systems have to work offline. This would be changed with TCP. The rights and licenses would be central managed by the TCPA (USA?). And as soon a violation is noticed, they will get notified. Read the chapter “The bills” to get an overview about the possible resulting consequences.

The companies:
The TCPA was founded 1999 by Compaq, HP, IBM, Intel and Microsoft. But in the meantime around 200 companies joined them. You will find Adobe, AMD, Fujitsu-Siemens, Gateway, Motorola, Samsung, Toshiba and many other well known companies. IBM already sells first desktops and notebooks with integrated TPM.

The bills:
In the USA there’s a planed bill, the so called CBDPTA (Consumer Broadband and Digital Television Promotion Act). First it was callen SSSCA (Security Systems Standards and Certification Act). The new name reads much more harmless. Looks like the first name made it too easy to discover the purpose of this bill.
This bill plans to legally force secure (TCPA-conform) systems. So in the USA it would then not be allowed to buy or sell systems that are not TCPA-conform. Passing this law would be punished with up to 5 years of prision and up to $500.000 fine. The same would apply for development of “open” software. Open means that it would work on systems that’re not TCPA-conform.
Even if this bill would only valid in the USA it would have catastrophically effects worldwide. Because US companies are not allowed to develop and sell “unsecure” software, others would have to jump onto the TCP-train, so they would give total control over themself to the TCPA (USA?), or they would have to live completely without software and harware from US-companies. No Windows, Solaris, MacOS, Photoshop, Winamp or to say it short: The largest part of all software that’s used on this planet would not be usable.

The consequences:
Thus you’re able to determine the consequences for your own situation, we kept this section very generell. But it should be easy to determine the resulting restrictions that would apply for you.
The informational self-determination isn’t existing anymore, it’s not possible to save, copy, create, program, …, the data like you want. This applies for privates as for companies
The free access to the IT/Software market is completely prevented for anyone except the big companies, the market as we know it today will get completely destroyed
Restrictions in the usage of owned hardware would apply
The liberty of opinion and the free speech on the internet would finally be eliminated
The own rights while using IT-technologies are history.
The national self-determination of the der particular countries would be fully in the hands of the USA
Probably the world would break into two digital parts (Countries that express against TCPA)

See who’s raiding your home (or the fridge). [ http://www.chinavasion.com/g6x3 ]. The problem with security systems? They don’t let you know what’s going on in your house when they go off. Here’s a home security system that sorts that out.

Who would like this: People who want to feel secure about their home but don’t want to buy a complete home security system. People who want to know what’s going on in their home when they’re not there.

What eBay keywords can I use:
home security system, home alarm, home security, security systems, security camera, security alarm, wireless security camera, wireless home security system, wireless alarm, motion detector, motion sensor, motion light sensor, PIR sensor, system security

The home alarm is usually pretty good for scaring the bejesus out of your neighborhood burglar. Not to mention your cat, bird, and the kid who just wants to get his ball from your balcony.

A wireless security camera can be pretty good too. But only if you’re in the house. What solution is there for the jumpy types who want to know what’s going on all the time?

Wholesale electronics company, Chinavasion has come up with a potential solution. A security camera armed with a PIR sensor that trips a security alarm but also send a mms picture of the ‘intruder’ to your phone.

The actual wireless home security system is fairly easy to set up… requiring you just to hook the PIR motion detector (aka security camera) to a wall plug the motion light sensor in to a mains adaptor, put in the GPRS enabled SIM card. Program that number into your cell phone and send the wireless alarm a SMS to get it going. Then you’re ready to roll.

The potential for it could be huge as more than just system security… tyrannical parents could use it to check that their kids were actually studying for example and not sneaking out for extramural activites… or flatmates could use it to make sure that nobody steals pieces of their favorite cake cooked specially for them by a loved one. Truly a motion detector worth having.
