No, today it's in virtually all Intel processors used in desktops and laptops. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Management_Engine . Most consumer PCs don't have ME firmware that supports remote management features such as AMT. But even consumer PCs still have running ME firmware which still does various stuff and has almost total access and control of your PC. The ME firmware has an API that can be called from Windows (I don't know about Linux, but I'd be really surprised) to have the ME do things like decryption. -- tor-talk mailing list - tor-talk@lists.torproject.org To unsubscribe or change other settings go to https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
