<div dir="ltr"><p>The German Government is now deeply suspicious that the Trusted
Platform Module (TPM) technology built into a growing number of Windows 8
PCs and tablets is creating a gigantic back door for NSA surveillance,
leaked documents have suggested.</p>
<p>Documents from the German Ministry of Economic Affairs <a href="http://www.zeit.de/digital/datenschutz/2013-08/trusted-computing-microsoft-windows-8-nsa/seite-1" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">obtained by German title <i>Zeit Online</i></a>
uncover the alleged unease of officials at the direction of version 2.0
of the standard being developed under the auspices of the multi-vendor
Trusted Computing Group (TCG).</p>
<p>TPM has been marketed as a security and Digital Rights Management
(DRM) technology since its appearance in 2006, but version 2.0 would
embed a chip on every PC that has complete control over which programs
can and can�t run, a setting that can�t be over-ridden under Windows 8.
The chip is also where the cryptographic data is stored for Windows
BitLocker and it enables remote administration.</p><br><div><a href="http://news.techworld.com/security/3465259/is-windows-8-trojan-horse-for-nsa-german-government-thinks-so/#tk.nl_win ">Please read more here</a><br clear="all">
