The main problem is, that processes can communicate without a security
system in between, and that this is a documented behaviour of Microsoft
Windows. The two technologies I mentioned in my last posting are the
common technologies to prevent that. This has nothing to do with RSA.

Standards, which are designed to be abused by huge media companies
to enforce "security" for constrolling the PC a customer has bought.
Not the customer can control her/his PC, but the media company. A
thing which implements in hardware, with what Sony shipwrecked lately.
