Dear friends,

many of us speak and write about encryption, about surveillance, about external control. Intel and Samsung, maybe also AMD, IBM/Motorola and others, have it installed. The underlayer between OS and hardware. Totally controlled from outside and independent of BIOS and OS.

Intel implemented it in the i3, i5, i7. Personal PC environment. And servers and workstation? I am sure, it is the same.

The decryption of the encryption makes too much effort. With ME it is easy and allways working. This is the reality, not the future.

Our possible answer: Free technology.
