On 19 October 2011, the newly established OSCCA Technical Committee on National Cryptography Industry Standards held its first formal meeting in Beijing. The Committee will cover various aspects of cryptography standardization including technology, products, systems, and management methods.
The Committee will be chaired by Mr. He Liangsheng, Vice Director of the State Encryption Management Bureau SEMB, while the Vice Chair position will be held by Mr. Fang Xiang, Vice Director of SAC.
This new TC formalizes China’s intention to develop national cryptography standards. Chinese authorities have been developing domestic encryption algorithms and related technologies which will now be transferable into national standards.

Cuold you please inform whether any non-CN international company, any CN-based EU company participate in this new TC ?
Dear Cyrill,
Better late than never – finally we found the hick-up on the comments function in the website: all mail were sent to the cloud to disappear somewhere… In response to your question: so far there is absolutely no foreign participation here – however we will see how things develop.
