Lisa Lorenzin from Juniper Networks posted to the official Trusted Computing Group blog regarding the recent TNC PlugFest focusing on TNC IF-MAP Binding for SOAP. I’ve heard about these bi-annual events before, and they do seem like a lot of hard work but fun! It mentions that Open Source projects also participated, but it didn’t [...]

The Trusted Computing Group’s official blog recently posted an article regarding the Mobile Phone Working Group’s activities. I have to declare my own self-interest in this topic as one of the members of this group and a contributor to more of the referenced documents.

I picked up an interesting article on IT Knowledge Hub about VMware’s Mobile Virtualization Platform (MVP) and Open Kernel Labs’ criticism of it. What MVP does is summed up by this sentence: The new architecture instead adopts a hosted virtualization platform (a type-2 VMM) that runs on top of the native RTOS installed on the [...]

The official TCG web site has three short (one minute each) talks by Dr. Robert Thibadeau of Seagate, Dr. Michael Willett of Samsung, and Steve Hanna of Juniper Networks (can I suggest changing the not-very-flattering key frame for that video?) on various issues.

If the title of this article makes no sense to you, feel free to skip over this recent blog post and PowerPoint presentation from Wenbo Mao at EMC on said run-time cloud attestation.

There was a recently-published interview on the New New Internet with Dr. William Luti of Digital Management, discussing cyber security in the US government.

CyberMedia India Online recently published an interesting interview with Steve Hanna of Juniper Networks (he’s co-chair of the Trusted Network Connect working group, not the whole TCG as noted in the article!) on cyber attacks in India. India is an interesting case as they are being attacked by foreign governments, or at least groups funded [...]
