Ericsson is collaborating with Intel to ensure that its GPS-enabled mobile
broadband modules are interoperable with Intel's Anti-Theft PC Protection
Technology.
Through this collaboration between the two, a theft management service residing
in a user's network can send a message to the mobile broadband module inside the
notebook, which in turn securely transfers the message to Intel's anti-theft
function inside the notebook's processor module, according to the companies. The
module in turn can then enable appropriate actions, such as completely locking
the computer, making it unusable until it receives an unlock message, the
companies say.
Intel Anti-Theft Technology detects potential theft situations and responds
according to a company's IT policies, according to Intel. It can be programmed
to respond to repeated login failures, for example, or expiration of a timer
that requires regularly scheduled connection to a central server. When working
in conjunction with third-party encryption hardware or software, Intel's
technology can be configured to delete cryptographic keys or similar code
necessary for decryption.
The theft management service can also take advantage of built-in GPS technology
in the Ericsson mobile broadband module, which can send location data to a
central server, Ericsson says. The location function can also be utilized to
determine a theft situation, such as when the notebook is moved outside a
pre-defined area.
The anti-theft protection-compatible modules will be available in commercial
data protection products starting second half of 2009, Ericsson said.
