(NASDAQ: WAVX; www.wave.com ), a leader in delivering trusted computing applications and services with advanced products, infrastructure and solutions across multiple trusted platforms, today announced it will demonstrate the capabilities of its EMBASSY® technology on a development Intel® vPro™ processor technology platform.

Wave offers the only interoperable solution based upon the Trusted Computing Group’s specifications for trusted platforms that include TPM secure storage solutions and secure infrastructures as defined by the TCG.
"Protecting stored data is critical for businesses today, and Intel vPro Danbury technology will make encrypting hard drive data more secure and manageable," said Tom Quillin, director of Intel's Digital Office Ecosystem Enabling. "Intel is pleased that Wave is rapidly embracing this secure platform initiative."
"As trusted computing solutions evolve, cross-platform interoperability could represent an important opportunity," said Steven Sprague, president and CEO of Wave Systems. "We believe that the addition of hardware security that provides data-at-rest, strong authentication and management capabilities, built into the hardware, is an important step forward in supporting the growing need for security in the PC. We are keenly aware of the requirements for applications to interoperate among multiple secure platforms and are providing proof of concepts today to show how our applications can be adapted to a new generation of platforms from Intel. We are proud to be the first company demonstrating our flexible, interoperable, secure applications on the industry’s leading trusted platforms."
