In this Tuesday, Feb. 2, 2010 photo, Chris Tarnovsky poses for photos after speaking at the Black Hat Briefings in Arlington, Va. Tarnovsky figured out a way to break chips that carry a 'Trusted Platform Module,' or TPM, designation. Such chips are billed as the industry's most secure and are estimated to be in as many as 100 million personal computers and servers, according to market research firm IDC. (AP Photo/Jacquelyn Martin)AP - Deep inside millions of computers is a digital Fort Knox, a special chip with the locks to highly guarded secrets, including classified government reports and confidential business plans. Now a former U.S. Army computer-security specialist has devised a way to break those locks.
