China Walks Out of Wireless LAN Security Talks
Ant writes "A CommsDesign article reports that China walked out of a wireless standards meeting this week, accusing the International Organization for Standardization of favoring the IEEE's 802.11i ANSI-certified wireless LAN security scheme over its own controverisal proposal, EE Times has learned.
The gambit came after China's Wireless Authentication and Privacy Infrastructure (WAPI) security scheme was withdrawn and placed on a slower track by the ISO." From the article: "China initially agreed last year to refrain from making its WAPI security scheme mandatory for wireless LAN equipment in China. It then approached ISO with a fast-track submission in an effort to make WAPI an international security standard."
Really though, who the fuck cares if China pulls out of wireless security talks? Not trying to troll, just asking a question.
"on old technology, performs poorly and is insecure"
Honestly now, are they talking about wireless technology, or are they talking about the Chinese government?
Because really, the Chinese government is anything except new, efficient and secure with itself.\

...but you are evil. I saw what you did to Carley Bruccia, and how you put Terri Schaivo into vegetable stew, you sick evil bastard. What were you thinking? You freakin' raped the Lindbergh baby, and then sold him to Dr. Mengela for testing. You, my friend, are the Jew Bastard who framed Lee Harvey Oswald for the Kennedy assasinations, and paid off Jack Ruby. And then you paid off James Earl Ray
cos you couldn't stand a successful nigger.
That's because those standards do not meet our standards. Why the hell should I be subject to another nations laws while in my own country? Ever heard of sovereignty (that spelled right?)
