Intel Sandy Bridge integrated Anti-theft 3.0 as alarm.
In Intel Sandy Bridge will be integrated Anti-Theft 3.0 version, security technology developed by the California chipmaker.

The Sandy Bridge architecture is starting to speak powerfully for itself to several weeks after its official launch. After having proposed several articles on the first notebooks equipped with the latest the Intel processors house (remember, for example, the Dell XPS 17 with Nvidia GeForce GT450M graphics) and after learning that the first versions available on the market will be those Quad Core, Today we discover that the future CPU developed by the California chipmaker will integrate Anti-Theft 3.0 technology.

This solution is not new in the Intel architecture but the future version seems to have really interesting potential. For example, it will be possible for reasons of security system, even remotely disable the processor without having any connection and PC is turned off if necessary. Clearly such details would deserve a study that only Intel can provide. plausible hypothesis that all the information to be revealed at the upcoming Consumer Electronics Show 2011 in Las Vegas where Sandy Bridge will make its official appearance.

Intel Anti-Theft 3.0 stems from the assumption that a portable system is, subject to frequent losses and theft, and often contain sensitive data and information of significance that should not be the privilege of no one other than the owner. Despite the generous assumptions, it is not clear how much the technology proposed by Intel is actually synonymous with security and data protection. It raises the question whether a technical block of this kind is perhaps intended to move to circumvent the hard disk on a system other than the home.

According to the few details available, a locked device could be reactivated in different ways, either by typing a special password locally through a specific authentication procedure on the 3G network. Furthermore, it seems to be able to wake your laptop using a one-use token. Intel will provide all necessary explanations on that technology, at least on the intentions, aims to safeguard user data and the integrity of the act.
