Computer Security Is Broken: Can Better Hardware Help Fix It?

The author argues that hardware can be used to improve computer security. Topics include the relation of a private key on isolated hardware, the use of secure computation on legacy computing architectures, and the relation of security to the future of the technology industry. Problems with SSL/TLS s...
