Subject: Intel announcements at RSA '99
Date: Wed, 20 Jan 1999 11:15:43 -0800
Intel has announced a number of interesting things at the RSA
conference. The most important, to me, is the inclusion of a hardware
random number generator (based on thermal noise) in the Pentium III
instruction set. They also announced hardware support for IPSEC.
