A few days old but still interesting.
IBM plans to announce availability of the new technology, dubbed
Secure Blue, on Monday. The Armonk, N.Y.-based company envisions its
idea and technology will be used in digital media players, electronic
organizers, cell phones, computers and devices used by the government
and the medical and financial industries.
With Secure Blue, data is encrypted and decrypted as it runs through a
processor, according to IBM. It is maintained encrypted in the device
memory, or RAM. One of the few times data would not be scrambled is
when it is actually displayed.
