China WAPI sprint overseas standards is the United States Department of was flawed

China expert: irresponsible IEEE against WAPI's assertion

China's national wireless LAN security technology standards WAPI in the international standard of sprint on the road once again encountered overseas interest groups to ban.

Overseas news yesterday, the international organization for Standardization (ISO) voted to reject the WAPI international standard proposal. On the contrary, the United States Department of standards - IEEE (American Institute of electrical and Electronics Engineers) raised the 802.11i standard to get the majority of votes, Intel temporarily win.

The battle is not over yet

Reporters learned that the relevant parties, the United States did pull most of the standard vote, the voting results are still expected.

"The results do not represent a temporary vote ISO formal decision, and now, the United States Department of technology did not win." WAPI core members, Xidian Jietong relevant responsible person said that the fight did not end. The next few months, ISO will hold an analysis team meeting to discuss the decision, the United States and the two technical standards who will win.

So far, WAPI still have a chance. "In the group meeting, members who voted against it must provide reasonable technical reasons to justify their votes. If the reason is untenable and its objection is invalid, it shall be deemed to be a favorable vote." A person familiar with the matter said.

WAPI is a wireless LAN security technology standard with independent intellectual property rights in China, which embodies the intention of China's standard strategy and information security strategy. China and the United States on this standard was launched in 2004 a technical conflict, as WAPI technology touched the interests of the United States, Intel and other large companies, the United States and even the use of political power to ban the implementation of WAPI. In the Sino US economic and trade situation, Vice Premier Wu Yi attended the 2004 China US Joint Commission on Trade and economic cooperation, China announced an indefinite delay in the implementation of WAPI standards.

Subsequently, WAPI and IEEE 802.11i standard to become the international standard contest. The first round of voting in March 7th this year, the end of the work. During this period, WAPI suffered a lot of unfair treatment.

IEEE's assertion is irresponsible

China's WAPI team in Europe and the United States against the number of overseas technology providers have some tragic, but the hard way of technical nationalism or in the field to win a lot of points.

"IEEE has made a lot of irresponsible assertions against WAPI, and IEEE's determination to destroy WAPI is an unfair and irresponsible act." At the February 24th WAPI conference in Ireland, the Chinese representatives expressed anger.

"It is absurd to say that China has developed WAPI to protect the domestic market. China is most concerned about the development of a solution to the existing wireless LAN security vulnerabilities. The innovative WAPI security mechanism developed by Chinese engineers has proven to be the most advanced, reliable and effective security solution to date."

Further, the representative of China said that the U.S. Department of standards flawed, if accepted as international standards, the consequences will be disastrous".

At the moment, China's policy level is a strong support for the release of the national technical standards WAPI signal. March 7th, WAPI Industry Alliance established. WAPI will be rapid industrialization in china.
