Sorry, it has nothing to do with dink but it could prevent us from using dmods and such!!!

What is Palladium:
A super AI system that uses a super advanced security system:
I found this at the site:
Microsoft Palladium

The Palladium is the Microsoft's version under the rules and implementation of TCPA (Trusted Computing Platform Alliance) for the development of a secure operational system. The TCPA is a organization founded in 1999 by Compaq, HP, IBM, Intel, AMD and Microsoft and currently it has got more than 170 companies partners - like 3COM, Adobe, Dell, Gateway, Hitachi, Iomega, Motorola, NEC, Novell, nVidia, Philips, Samsung, Siemens, Symantec, Toshiba and a lot more. The main purpose of TCPA is the development of products and services that will allow a bigger security on the use of computer. To do this some rules were made. So the partners can make products that will be homologated by the entity.
So, imagine a system that:
- disables virus, trojans and worms works
- only allows the execution of certified programs, disabling the functioning of unkown programs ou pirate versions
- can creates files that only can be readden one time and after that it will delete itself
- can creates files that only can be readden by a specified person (if this file will be sent by deceit to another one it could not be opened and will be able also to delete itself)
- deny the illegal creation of media files (MP3 / DivX)
That is what a OS-TCPA will do.
Why has it been created?
Because the current computers security (soft and hardware) is low. Using complex criptography systems and protection by hardware and software, a OS (of any maker) based on TCPA will allow a very bigger security, besides it allows to user to control the access and the transfer information that come in and out of his computer by a better way that it's done today.
How will it work?
The mother-boards will come with the Fritz Chip that will allow the OS-TCPA functioning. Besides this the BIOS of all hardware must to agree with the TCPA rules to works with the OS. Other hardwares like notebooks and handhels will have to got a version of the chip too. It's important to say that the user will can disable the SO-TCPA always it was necessary, but some system functions will be disable too.
What's the diference of a OS-TCPA and the current OS like Windows XP ?!?
Job OS-TCPA non OS-TCPA
Programs works Programs with no certification will be some functions disabled Any program can be installed and be ran
Access to created files Only specified users will read the files Any one can read them
Inconoming e-mail with virus The virus will not affect the system The virus will
Can't I install the program I want on the OS-TCPA??
Not all programs can be installed: programs with simple works can, but more hard and complex software only can be used with the certification, and it will be got by the Internet likes the WinXP activation.
If I don't want to use a OS-TCPA...
You will not able to run TCPA sofwares. For example, if the Adobe makes the Photoshop X under TCPA and your OS is not, you can't run it.
So I can't listen to my MP3 and watch my videos?
Only if it was got by a legal way. Softwares like Kazaa you will not use anymore! Say good bye to everything illegal in your PC.
The legitimate
Every attemp to crack, date / time change and another ways to trick the OS-TCPA will be unefficacious 'cos there will are too many protect layers in the OS-TCPA (using SHA-1, HMAC, RNG, RSA 2048bits criptography, 3DES and AES). The OS-TCPA must to be connected on Internet to work with your full capacity: besides the computer's date need to be constantly updated (the OS-TCPA will do it automaticly), new updates and certifications will be got automaticly by internet without no user cares.
Some softwares in OS-TCPA will demand the computer to connect to web while certain periods to continue workin on. Example: A software can leaves of works if on last 7 days you didn't connect on Internet any time (so its certification has expired). So when you connect on internet, this software certification will be updated and it will come back to works for the next 7 days...
What is different on the files made by a OS-TCPA?
You will have more control under you files. Example: you can make a Excel plan that will only be seen by a person on the next 15 day, or you can make a file that will only be readden one time and them it will delete itself (deleted automaticly and will not be possible tu rescue it). The files made by a OS-TCPA will have extra functions for that it can be managed by the OS-TCPA.
The OS-TCPA will allow you to send an e-mail to someone with informations that can't be sent to any one else, so who receives this e-mail will not be able to forward it.
What about the laws??
With the TCPA working, any attemp to trick the system will be analized as a violation of DMCA (Digital Milenium Copyright Act - a law aproved that foresee a fine of US$ 500.000 and 5 years on prison for who tries to trick any protection system) and/or of recent-approved law "Fritz Holling Bill S. 2048" that turns illegal the computers sell (or mother-boards) without the Fritz Chip.
With these laws, a cracker that make a program to trick the TCPA, a computers sailer that don't have the Fritz Chip and a developer that don't use TCPA but makes softwares that can read, modify or save files on a TCPA format will have the same punishment.
With the Fritz Hollings Bill S. 2048 law, the code used by the proctetion system of OS (anyone) must to be open-source, allowing its reads by anyone.
When Palladium will be launched?
The tests will start at 2003.
MORE INFORMATION ABOUT TCPA / PALLADIUM:
The software's archtectury with TCPA will be different of what is used today.
You will can install any OS you want on your computer with the Fritz Chip (though the OS that don't follow the TCPA especifications won't utilize the advantages of security).
There will be three access level to TCPA: Priviled Access (only softwares developed by members of TCPA will have this), Normal Access (the computer's user will have this), Minimun Access (for aplications that don't follow the TCPA rules).
Software's developers will must to get certifications for their programs to this works correctly on OS-TCPA (though it will only need to certificate their softwares if they use determined system functions). Applets and Drivers won't need be certificated by TCPA 'cos it won't have permission to do something that can damage the OS.
CPU will have extentions (like 3DNow! of AMD) and new instructions in order to OS-TCPA works correctly.
At a OS-TCPA, the information that be transfered by the keyboard to the computer and by the VGA to the monitor will can be criptgraphied to higher the security.
The OS-TCPA will allow a document can't be opened in another machine ou in another OS.
The OS-TCPA will allow the criation of a new kind of e-commerce: the rent of software. The user would pay to use a software for a period. After that it will unninstall automaticly.
The Microsoft has patented the idea of a operational system that control the copyright of audio and video.

The Palladium is a high complex system and we have no much information about this.
