Aucsmith: Proof Lies in Windows Server 03

There is a small group of true lifers in the security industry, and Dave Aucsmith is one of them. He began working on signal security several decades ago during his time in the military and then spent several years as the chief security architect at Intel Corp. Add to that his deep knowledge of cryptography and the 27 patents he holds, and you see why Microsoft Corp. hired him last August as a security architect in the new Security Business Unit. Aucsmith is now that group's chief technology officer and is responsible for the overall security architecture of all of Microsoft's products. Senior Editor Dennis Fisher caught up with Aucsmith at the RSA Conference here to talk about the SBU, Trustworthy Computing and the Next Generation Secure Computing Base, the technology formerly known as Palladium.
