         "Trusted Computing from a Legal and Policy Perspective"

               Montag, 05.09.2005, 13:15 Uhr, IC 4/39,


Abstract

Trusted computing technologies attempt to increase trust in networked
computing environments. This talk presents an overview of the legal and
policy implications these technologies have at present and in the future. In
particular, the talk focuses on the relationship between trusted computing
and competition policy, open source software, patent licensing, privacy and
copyright law. Furthermore, the talk investigates the value decisions that
must be made when designing the infrastructure that surrounds any trusted
computing architecture. On a more philosophical level, the talk looks at
different approaches to establish trust in networked computing environments
as an answer to the increasing complexity of computer networks. It also
presents some issues that have, until now, not received enough attention in
the policy debates around trusted computing.
