[security-area] Re: Trusted Computing: Proposed Research Group

[Andrew Martin]

Dear all,

Bumping in to Olle Mulmo this week, I was reminded that it was over 
three weeks ago that I posted this invitation to discuss the Trusted
Computing Proposed Research Group.  The final paragraph (below) has
proved very optimistic!

Please do contribute discussion and expressions of support (or even 
dissent),  if only to give our area chairs confidence that there is 
genuine interest in pursuing this group.

Best regards

Andrew
