Trusted Computing: Proposed Research Group

Following the distribution of a draft charter a couple of weeks ago, we held a BOF at GGF13 last week on this proposed new research group. Notes of the meeting, with copies of the presentations, and a draft charter are at the group's temporary web site: http://www.softeng.ox.ac.uk/Andrew.Martin/TC/index.html There appeared to be a fair amount of support, and general interest in at least some of the items in the draft charter. We remain uncertain about whether to include the production of a roadmap document as part of the initial charter or not. Discussion of the charter and the research group's formation is now welcome. Please use this mailing list: if the traffic becomes too high, no doubt a separate list can be created. Best regards Andrew Martin Wenbo Mao

Dear all, Bumping in to Olle Mulmo this week, I was reminded that it was over three weeks ago that I posted this invitation to discuss the Trusted Computing Proposed Research Group. The final paragraph (below) has proved very optimistic! Please do contribute discussion and expressions of support (or even dissent), if only to give our area chairs confidence that there is genuine interest in pursuing this group. Best regards Andrew Andrew Martin wrote:

In my recent preparation of a presentation on Trusted Computing for Grid Security, I did a search and found the following sites informative: http://pericson.com/journal/2005/03/19-trusted-computing-hardware-in-pcs/ In a nutshell, IDC predicts by end of 2005, 20 million platforms shipped world wide will install a hardware trusted platform module. By 2007, more than 70% of the PCs shipped world wide will have such a module. So TCP is really not far away. Best regards, Wenbo Mao
