	Embedded system: Definition and Links by Encyclopedian.com
		One common configuration for embedded systems is the system on a chip, an application-specific integrated circuit, for which the CPU was purchased as intellectual property to add to the IC's design.
		They often have no operating system, or a real-time operating system, or the programmer is assigned to port one of these to the new system.
		Systems with exactly two levels of priority (usually running, and interrupts-disabled) cannot have inverted priorities, in which a lower priority task waits for a higher-priority task to release a semaphore or other resource.

	Stillwater Palladium : Palladium in fuel cells
		Palladium will likely also play a role in the fuel cell, as well, but it is unknown yet how big.
		Palladium can be used to generate hydrogen, to purify hydrogen, to store hydrogen and to detect hydrogen.
		A fuel cell system including a “fuel reformer” to extract hydrogen from a hydrocarbon produces minimal NOx and less CO than conventional combustion technology due to increased efficiency.

	TCPA vs. Palladium: What's the difference?
		If the operating system is carefully designed, it can then guard its own set of cryptographic keys from the prying eyes of the end user, and use those to load applications in a secure mode as well.
		Developing such an operating system is hard: a good design would try to minimize the amount of code that can actually access the keys, which minimizes the amount of code that has to be security audited.
		Palladium is designed based on the pragmatic assumption that you can't redesign the operating system from the ground up to support trusted computing, and instead trusted computing must be run as a module under an existing, relatively unmodified operating system (such as Windows).

	Microsoft
		Partly as a result of this dominance, Microsoft was convicted by a USA federal court for abusing its monopoly in the desktop operating systems market in the same country (see Microsoft antitrust case for more details).
		For example, Windows operating systems released since 1995 hide file extensions by default, which can help malicious programmers trick unwitting e-mail recipients into opening dangerous file attachments that masquerade as harmless files with innocuous extensions.
		Microsoft has a number of new initiatives:.NET, Palladium and the "Longhorn" operating system (Longhorn is the next home Windows release).

	Microsoft Palladium
		To protect the rights-managed data resident in memory, the digital rights management operating system refuses to load an untrusted program into memory while the trusted application is executing or removes the data from memory before loading the untrusted program.
		If the untrusted program executes at the operating system level, such as a debugger, the digital rights management operating system renounces a trusted identity created for it by the computer processor when the computer was booted.

	TCPA/Palladium - Presentation for the FIT PhD Seminar
		Palladium is an operating system currently under developement by Microsoft, which will run on TCPA platforms.
		With Palladium, a system's secrets are locked in the computer and are only revealed on terms that the user has specified.
		Palladium's changes to the CPU allow it to be placed into a new mode where certain areas of memory are restricted via a technique called "code curtaining" to an ultra-privileged piece of code called "TOR".

	Microsoft plans security chip for next Windows
		Palladium will create a secure space within a PC in which users will be able to run applications and store data, he said.
		The system is comprised of three components, an authentication system, hardware chips and software, called the "nub," that handles the security tasks, according to Martin Reynolds, a research fellow with market analysis firm Gartner Inc., which is based in Stamford, Connecticut.
		Palladium is a security foundation upon which to build other security features, more than a system itself, he added.

		Palladium's software components will be part of the next major version of Windows, which Microsoft has said it may release toward the end of 2004.
		LaMacchia says that Palladium also would permit personal data and other files to be kept secret on the computer's hard drive in an area where the data would be unreadable by any program other than the one on the computer that created them.
		But publishers could use Palladium's controls to unilaterally limit use of their materials, such as by restricting professors to a read-only view of the article, from which they could not "cut and paste" the text.

	ITworld.com - Palladium concerns Microsoft's competitors, not lawyers
		Microsoft Corp.'s Palladium security system has sparked concern among some of the company's competitors in the operating system market, as well as with consumer and digital-rights advocates, but lawyers and security companies are less troubled.
		Palladium is the code-name for Microsoft's new security initiative, announced Monday, which is designed to create a "trusted space" within a PC for certain programs and other sensitive operations to run in.
		Palladium "could be (an extension of the Windows monopoly), but I don't think at this stage it has risen to that level," he said.

	Stillwater Palladium : Palladium Hydrogenation Research
		The two latter relations have previously been described for bulk systems and surfaces respectively, while this study is apparently the first to point out the correlation between the position of the hydrogen band and the stability of the hydride, i.e., the deeper the hydrogen band, the less stable the hydride.
		A thin palladium layer deposited on the bare core of a multimode fibre was used as the transducer.

	MS: Why we can't trust your 'trustworthy' OS
		Palladium is a long-term project that requires not only a new operating system, but new computers as well.
		Palladium is like any other fundamental technology: You can build things with it that will be good for people, and you can build things with the potential to hurt people.
		While Levy says Palladium could start showing up as early as 2004, I'm betting most users won't start seeing it until 2006 or 2007--and then only if Microsoft is able to convince any number of organizations, governments, and even individuals that Palladium isn't more of privacy threat than a solution to privacy problems.

	Can we trust Microsoft's Palladium? - Salon
		The initiative, called Palladium, after the mythological statue that defended ancient Athens against invaders, sits on a set of technologies that have long been in use.
		Perens is convinced that Palladium will let Microsoft decide which applications can run on a machine and which are simply too unsafe for public consumption -- such as programs written by open-source hackers.
		At least in concept, critics say, Palladium could prevent the unauthorized copying of media of any kind, not only shutting off the MP3 file-sharing free-for-all but also interfering with the rights of consumers to make personal copies of music or movies that they purchased legitimately.

		According to Peter Biddle, a Microsoft product manager, Palladium is nothing more than an elegant solution to the vexing problem of keeping people secure on the Internet, a goal that Gates has set as one of the company's main objectives.
		The system will be shipped with these functions turned off, but "we actually think it's likely that users will say, 'I'm only going to run code that's been signed,'" Biddle says.
		The whole point of the General Public License, the license under which Linux-based operating systems are offered, is to allow people to modify code ad infinitum.

		Palladium might provide substantial security against these attacks, because it will require that all code be digitally signed before it can run.
		It is also worth noting that a hodgepodge of existing techniques, including Immunix's StackGuard and FormatGuard, can be used with open-source operating systems to protect us from many of these attacks.
		In the end, hardware that does not enable Palladium to function will continue to be available -- but it will not be the consumer-grade hardware on which most open-source operating systems currently run.
