"Intel's Reliance Point is a research project with a daunting task - a leak-proof Big Data sharing solution for business collaboration.
The chipmaker, says The MIT Technology Review, 'thinks it has a way to let valuable data be combined and analyzed without endangering anyone's privacy. Its researchers are testing a super-secure data locker where a company could combine its sensitive data with that from another party without either side risking that raw information being seen or stolen.' The system's inner workings are based on a series of security checks, from the BIOS on up:
When the Reliance Point system boots up, a security chip is used to check that the BIOS, the lowest-level software on a computer that starts it up, hasn't been tampered with. The BIOS then makes its own checks before activating the next level of software, which in turn makes its own checks, a chain-like process that continues until the system is fully operational.

Reliance Point or Palladium [wikipedia.org].
That which we call a dead horse
By any other name would smell as sweet;
This Time: with Big Data. Can't wait for the Cloud version.
