Genuinely Secure Systems
This talk will define and discuss the properties of a genuinely secure system, the innovative uses of unique Itanium processor capabilities, and the synergy with other emerging trusted system technologies such as VMMs, VT, VT-d, LT and TPMs. The talk will also explain why a genuinely secure system cannot be built on non-Itanium-based platforms.
About Dr. Bill Worley
Dr. William (Bill) Worley Jr. is the CTO of Secure64 Software Corporation. He is a Retired HP Fellow (Chief Scientist and Distinguished Contributor), and served as a Commissioner of Colorado Governor's Science and Technology Commission. He received an MS (Physics) and MS (Information Science) from the University of Chicago and a PhD (Computer Science) from Cornell University. Bill is a system architect. At HP, he directed the team that developed the PA RISC architecture. He later directed the development of the PA Wide Word architecture, the foundation for the HP/Intel partnership that led to the Itanium 2 microprocessor family. Prior to HP, during 13 years with IBM, he contributed to architectures for mainframes, storage systems, and IBM's first RISC architecture. In the years prior to his retirement from HP, Bill focused upon hardware and software architectures for secure systems. Following retirement, Bill joined Secure64 Software as a co-founder and CTO. Secure64 has developed a multi-core platform control system, including a queued, asynchronous network stack, which fully exploits the security capabilities of the Itanium architecture.
