They have teamed up with the all too appropriately-initialled CCTV to develop a DRM protection system for high-definition video. The China DRM (Digital Rights Management) Forum is also in on the [...]

My first reaction was one of apprehension, as Google’s foray into China has not been without criticism, [...]

Please take the following report from China Economic Net entitled Make digital life safe and worriless with a suitably large pinch of salt! Note that the Chinese TCM, Trusted Cryptography Module, is not related to the Trusted Computing Group’s TPM, Trusted Platform Module! Sample quotes are: There is no need to worry about password stealing [...]

In an undated article, but one that appeared in my feed reader dated 27th December 2008, EMC’s ON Magazine looks at trusted computing in China, with an article written by Professor Huanguo Zhang of Wuhan University. They have made many advances in development, such as this: Through the collaboration with Chinese enterprise, we have developed [...]

Steve Duplessie, in his blog Steve’s IT Rants, described a recent visit to China entitled Mao’s Revenge, where amongst other things he spent three days on a boat on the Yangtze with a bunch of global PhD’s yapping about trusted computing. There’s really very little about trusted computing, but it’s an entertaining article that’s well [...]

Quite frankly, I do raise a sceptical eyebrow whenever I hear China and Trusted Computing in the same sentence, but this is university work that will be peer reviewed, so perhaps I should not be so concerned. EMC has joined a global research project on trust and assurance in cloud computing that includes four top [...]
