Ten Hard Problems in Distributed Systems Security
Apr 10, 2002
Abstract
With Bill Gates' recent company memo, Trustworthy Computing is the next Microsoft challenge. With PCs in 80s & Internet in 90s, we as an industry have made computing & information ubiquitous and available to the masses but unfortunately, neither of them is trustworthy today. Making computing trustworthy is the challenge Microsoft is uniquely suited to because of its strong software focus. In this talk we'll explore what Trustworthy computing means, what some of the hard problems are in trying to achieve it and what Microsoft is doing about each one of them.About the Speaker
