European Trusted Infrastructure Summer School Sept. 5-10, 2010
"The summer school covers a variety of fields related to creating a trusted infrastructure to cope with the demands of current and future information processing. This includes Trusted Computing, machine virtualization, new hardware architectures, and new network security architecture.
ETISS is open to all researchers and technologists in IT security with an interest in advanced learning and research discussions on next generation trusted infrastructure technologies and their role in helping secure our information society. The aim of the summer school is to provide a program that is useful for both new and established researchers in the area. Leading industry and academic speakers will run an introductory session on the Sunday, followed by advanced lectures, practical labs and specialized workshops during the week."
We think this event is remarkable in both its longevity and in the breadth of sessions offered. In addition to the efforts of Royal Holloway, there are a number of active research projects in Europe focused on trusted computing and a number of commercial organizations use various Trusted Computing technologies. One of these is Vega Deutschland, which uses Wave Systems' EMBASSY® software with self-encrypting hard drives.
Earlier this year, CESG, the UK National Technical Authority for Information Assurance, assessed that the Infineon Trusted Platform Module is suitable to protect security critical data at Business Impact Level 3 (i.e. RESTRICTED classified data).
If you are in Europe in early September and wish to participate, registration is still open and available at www.etiss.org.
