Dear All, While as a group leader I do feel responsible for not having been successful to generate a high interest in this work, we have nevertheless been working out the technicalities through other forums, and are not insuccessful in that regard. A Daonity demo system was released on November 17th in the Daonity Homepage: http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Wenbo_Mao/daonity/daonity.html (binary executable and source), where one may also find sufficient amount of supporting material. If at present we cannot convince the OGF community the usefulness of Trusted Computing for grid security (not your fault), we then agree to shut this group down. In the mean time, we shall continue working on the technicalities. For the interested, please keep an eye on the above URL. Thank you! Best regards, Wenbo Mao
Dear Security Area Participants:
We have recently completed a review of the security area groups. Based on the results, we propose to disband the Trusted Computing Research Group (TC RG). We have noted that during the past year:
- There has been no substantive progress on the chartered deliverables
- There have been no active discussions on the mailing list or regular conferences calls
- Attendance at the TC RG sessions has been minimal
We have queried the chairpersons about their continued interest and thoughts on re-invigorating this activity. Their responses indicate:
- They are unable to commit to completing the existing draft use-case document
- They do not have a proposal for re-chartering the group to engage a critical mass of participants
We would appreciate hearing from anyone who is willing to commit to completing the chartered deliverables and participating in possible follow-on work. Unless a sufficient number of committed participants come forward in the next 2-3 weeks, we will start the process of shutting down the group.
Regards,
Blair Dillaway and David Groep, Security ADs
