Not if you destroy keys before you are required to disclose them as I thought I made clear.
A notice under this section imposing a disclosure requirement in respect of any protected information- (a) must be given in writing or (if not in writing) must be given in a manner that produces a record of its having been given; (b) must describe the protected information to which the notice relates; (c) must specify the matters falling within subsection (2)(b)(i) or (ii) by reference to which the notice is given; (d) must specify the office, rank or position held by the person giving it; (e) must specify the office, rank or position of the person who for the purposes of Schedule 2 granted permission for the giving of the notice or (if the person giving the notice was entitled to give it without another person's permission) must set out the circumstances in which that entitlement arose; (f) must specify the time by which the notice is to be complied with; and (g) must set out the disclosure that is required by the notice and the form and manner in which it is to be made; And yes I can already tell if my boot file checksums change.

Virtually nil? Let's face it, anybody who really understands TPM won't be using Vista anyway, and those who don't will just fall for marketing: "Microsoft are commited to helping the Government fight the War on Terror and to this end have installed TPM software to protect our users against terrorists and e-hackers" I wouldn't be surprised if the US Government at least *mandated* TPM-level access. > Anyway, you can spot any changes in your boot config checksums and be > immediately alerted to a change. You can, can you? Dave -- Dave Page <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
