Press release with no real info. Not sure how a "PRISM-proof Tor server" even makes sense. People you don't like can still run as many backdoored exit nodes as they want, and it's up to you to properly use crypto so they can't sniff your connection. Tor nodes are supposed to be (assumed to be?) untrustworthy.

totally agree. they seem to claim that their software gives legit dma and compromised device protection, which is a big claim.

there is no information about how this tech actually accomplishes this on their site. i suspect it's "stuff everything in the TPM because you can trust hw crypto" from normal memory, but this is just a guess. i would expect that the hw assurance claim is tied to storing id info in the TPM as well.
