The Hong Kong SAR Government today signed an agreement to participate in the Government Security Program (GSP), a global initiative from Microsoft that provides national governments with controlled access to Microsoft Windows source code and other technical information they need to be confident in the enhanced security features of the Windows platform.1 The GSP is one integral element in Microsoft's efforts to address the unique security requirements of governments and international organizations throughout the world.2//
"We consider the facilities offered under the GSP are of great value to the Hong Kong SAR Government," said Mr. Alan Wong, Director of Information Technology Services, HKSAR Government. "Through better understanding of the internal design and coding of the Microsoft Windows products, the Government should be able to enhance its technology and support capability on the use of Microsoft products." //
"At Microsoft, we are pleased to partner with the Hong Kong SAR Government to create a Trustworthy Computing environment to protect its information assets," said Alexander Huang, regional director, Greater China region, Microsoft Corporation. "The GSP program is designed to provide Governments with a clear, transparent method to assess the security and integrity of the Microsoft products they deploy. //
This is an important need that our Government customers have expressed, and we have responded. In addition to source code access, we will provide technical documentation, methods for troubleshooting, access to cryptographic tools subject to export controls, and access to Microsoft expert and supporting technicians who can collaborate with Governments on how they use this source code access.”3 //
While some Microsoft source-licensing programs are available to everyone, the Government Security Program is tailored to the specialized security requirements of governments. The GSP is a no-fee initiative that provides program participants the ability to review Windows source code using a code review tool and subject to certain license restrictions.4 In addition to source access, the GSP provides for the disclosure of technical information about the Windows platform, 5enhancing governments' ability to build and deploy computing infrastructures with strong security technologies in place. //
The program also promotes increased communication and collaboration between Microsoft security professionals and program participants, providing opportunities to visit Microsoft development facilities in Redmond and review various aspects of Windows source-code development, testing and deployment processes; discuss existing and potential projects with Microsoft security experts; and generally interact with and provide feedback directly to Microsoft staff. //
The Government Security Program is a crucial element of Microsoft's efforts to address the unique requirements of governments around the world. In 2001, Microsoft launched the Shared Source Initiative, expanding its long-standing efforts to make Windows source code more transparent to trusted partners and customers. In 2002, the company announced its Trustworthy Computing initiative, placing security at the core of all Windows development efforts. //
The Government Security Program also supports and builds on the Common Criteria (CC) certification. Windows 2000 achieved CC certification - a globally accepted, independent standard for evaluating the security features and capabilities of information technology products - last October for the broadest set of real-world scenarios yet achieved by any operating system as defined by the Common Criteria for Information Technology Security Evaluation (CCITSE).6 //
