Wow, what a week.

Last week the 2nd European Trusted Infrastructure Summer School (ETISS) 2007 at Ruhr-University Bochum took place and I had the opportunity to take part as a sponsored student. The summerschool is about Trusted Computing and not only computing but everything else that is influenced by it (eg. mobiles). We had a full schedule from 8 am to 8 pm from saturday to friday and in the end it nearly became exhaustive. But it was very worth it. Many inspiring people, especially Graeme Proudler (HP) from the TCG Technical Workgroup, as well as Boris Balacheff (HP), David Grawrock (Intel) and many more were there. Paul England (Microsoft) had a very good keynote (at least in my opinion, and I was kind of sceptic beforehand). I took part in the "Trusted Computing Application to e-Commerce Security" workshop from Shane Balfe (Royal Holloway University of London) and the "Research questions for Mobile Trusted Modules" from Jan-Erik Ekberg (Nokia Research) and Kurt Dietrich (TU Graz) but was merely a listener then a contributer.

Lots of stuff learned, thank you Ruhr-Uni Bochum!
