AMD, a leading supplier of integrated circuits for personal and networked computers, and Wave Systems Corp., a provider of electronic commerce, content distribution and security services, Monday announced an alliance to integrate new security functions for commercial and consumer computing. These advanced functions will enable personal computers and emerging information access devices to assume a key new role for secure delivery of content such as music and video, as well as a full range of e-commerce transactions. Users will have a stronger set of tools to protect the privacy of their sensitive information such as electronic identity and credit card numbers. For the content industry, this will provide a major step forward to implement new distribution and buying models while providing protection of the intellectual property of artists, authors, and performers. For the corporate world, key new content protection features will provide enhanced security for documents as well as enable secure options for remote access, business to business virtual networks, and authenticated network logon.
"To participate fully in the next generation of e-commerce, personal computers and information access devices must provide a secure environment that protects digital Internet content delivered to both the home and office," said David Somo, AMD's Vice President of Marketing, Computation Products Group. "As a result, systems manufacturers must add important new functions for security and privacy to their platforms. With this agreement, AMD is taking a leadership role in delivering key technologies to enable the growth of digital content and e-commerce."
