Microsoft Corp. today convened Trusted Computing Forum 2001, a three-day working session that brings together more than 150 leaders from government, business, academic and advocacy groups to address key issues in the protection of personal information and critical infrastructures. Building on the progress made at last year's SafeNet 2000 Summit, this event provides a forum for leading technology stakeholders to collaborate and define methods for increasing user trust in computing. In a keynote to open the forum, Craig Mundie, chief technical officer of Advanced Strategy and Policy at Microsoft, presented a frank look at the current security and privacy landscape. Mundie called upon both Microsoft and the industry to bring diverse opinions and approaches to the event, with the goal of ultimately building a greater universal trust in computing technology and online activities for individuals, governments and corporations worldwide.
