U.S. Pressures China Over WAPI

U.S. Pressures China Over WAPI 03/06/2004 01:49 AM
Three big wigs in the Bush administration sent a letter to China's deputy prime ministers urging them to back off the plan to ban Wi-Fi gear that doesn't include a Chinese-made proprietary encryption standard: The letter came from Secretary of Commerce Donald Evans, Secretary of State Colin Powell, and U.S. trade representative Robert Zoellick. Last year the Chinese government released its proprietary standard, known as WAPI, to a group of Chinese companies and said that any foreign company that wanted to sell Wi-Fi gear in China would have to work with those companies to include WAPI in the products. Foreign companies fear sharing their intellectual property with Chinese competitors and would prefer to use standard gear around the world to realize cost savings. This article points to Britain and the United States as nations that have set technical standards in a similar way but I'm hard pressed to come up with examples. Some U.S. cell carriers built networks based on CDMA, a standard created by Qualcomm, instead of the worldwide GSM standard but that choice was in no way dictated by the government and of course some other carriers here opted instead for GSM. European governments have dictated that operators there use GSM but GSM is a worldwide standard--there's no nation that insisted on a proprietary tweak to it within its borders. The story points to analysts who say that in requiring WAPI China is trying to take its turn as a standard-setter. But forcing companies to do something isn't the way standards are set. They're set by consensus among industry leaders and companies follow them by choice. In other news of pressure to the Chinese government over WAPI, Pat Gelsinger, the CTO of Intel, plans to meet with Chinese officials to talk about the requirement. Clearly the requirement would affect Intel which would have to alter its Centrio chips, for example, to accommodate for WAPI in order to sell products to the Chinese market....

China Drops WAPI Requirement

China Drops WAPI Requirement 04/21/2004 09:15 PM
China shelves its proprietary Wi-Fi security plan: It's good news for all chipmakers that China has apparently rescinded its June 1 deadline for all Wi-Fi equipment to include a Chinese proprietary security standard only available for inclusion by Chinese companies. This would have exposed international intellectual property to companies most interested in competing with those firms, and would have caused a fragmented world market. Richard Shim broke this story at News.com earlier today, and has an updated version will full details now. The deal came about in Washington, DC, as a result of joint trade talks with China. Neither story mentions that Chinese actions in regard to WAPI and related issues put it in conflict with its membership in the World Trade Organization, a group they had lobbied to join for some years and to which they were accepted with the backing of the U.S....

The fuss over China's plans to implement a national standard for wireless LANs (WLANs) came to a quiet end Wednesday during bilateral trade talks between U.S. and Chinese officials in Washington, D.C. But the outcome of the talks was far from being a complete victory for the U.S. side, which had raised several areas of concern.

News.com's Richard Shim breaks the news that China might drop its requirement for foreign manufacturers to use a new, proprietary Wi-Fi security spec for products sold in that country: Shim's initial report provides no detail beyond the headline. China has said that Wi-Fi devices sold in the country after June 1 must include the WAPI (Wireless Authentication and Privacy Infrastructure) security system, which is proprietary to China, and can only be included in products by a handful of Chinese firms with which foreign companies must partner. Many U.S. firms objected and the Bush administration also stood up to bat. It's possible the WAPI action would have violated WTO rules, as well....

Atheros on WAPI, 802.11n

Atheros on WAPI, 802.11n 02/01/2005 09:12 PM
Atheros talks about WAPI, 802.11N, and standards: Atheros recently announced that they would be the Wi-Fi chip supplier for Lenovo, the Chinese firm that plans to take over IBM's personal computer division. While that takeover may be temporarily held up due to politicking, it's still likely to go through, and gives Atheros a foothold in a new market. But this relationship reminded me of the WAPI (WLAN Authentication and Privacy Infrastructure) debate last year in which China was about to require this proprietary and closed security standard in all domestically sold Wi-Fi adapters and equipment. After high-level intervention by the U.S. government, China backed off from the requirement. My objections to WAPI stemmed from its closed nature: many in the encryption world believe that closed crypto is made to be broken because it cannot be tested in a robust fashion. It's also extremely easy to provide back doors, which can be used for government monitoring as well as being themselves weak points of entry. The U.S. government wanted explicit backdoors in encryption in the 1990s; there's no reason China wouldn't want that right now. I had the chance to speak to Atheros's Sheung Li, their product line manager, about both the WAPI standard and the progress in Task Group N (802.11n), the high throughput standard underway at IEEE as a successor to 802.11g. The interview appears after the jump....
