Helping the research and curriculum
development of Trustworthy Computing.

Background
Microsoft has made significant investments in
Trustworthy Computing both internally and
through collaboration with governments,
industrial partners, consortiums and policy
boards, and academic researchers. However, the
company also recognizes that exposing students
to Trustworthy Computing concepts in the context
of a rigorous program of study provides an
important foundation for tomorrow's
professionals. With thousands of students
graduating every year in law, business, and
computing-related majors, universities need to
play a key role in leading the effort to
building a more secure future.Motivation for
this research theme is derived from the lessons
learned from Microsoft's ongoing
Trustworthy Computing Initiative.
Topics of Interests
Microsoft Research Asia will fund a variety
of projects to create, test, and disseminate new
curriculum introducing the fundamentals of
Trustworthy Computing into technical and
business curricula. Microsoft is focused on
advancing Trustworthy Computing by developing
innovative technology and policy in the four
areas listed below¡ªwhat we refer to as the
"Four Pillars" of Trustworthy Computing:
- Security - The ability of a
system to protect information and system
resources with respect to confidentiality
and integrity.
- Privacy - Maintaining the right
to control what information is collected
about a user, how it is used, who may use
it, who maintains it, and the purpose it is
used for.
- Reliability - Incorporates topics
such as reliable software and services; a
broader definition than stand-alone system
uptime.
- Business Integrity - Adherence to
relevant laws, policies, and ethical
practices germane to Trustworthy Computing.
This program is supported by the
Internet Media Group, led by Dr. Shipeng Li
and the System Group, led by Dr. Zheng
Zhang, at MSR Asia. |
