Hengzhi chip
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Hengzhi chip is a a microcontroller that can store secured information, designed by the People's Republic of China government and manufactured in China. Its functionalites should be similar to those offered by a Trusted Platform Module but, unlike the TPM, it does not follow Trusted Computing Group specifications. Lenovo is selling safe PCs installed with Hengzhi security chips [1]. The chip could be a development of the IBM ESS (Embedded security subsystem) chip, which was basically a public key smartcard placed directly on the motherboard's system management bus. As of September 2006, no public specifications about the chip are available .
