Chinese Group Vents Anger Over 'Unfair' WAPI Decision

Sunmer Lemon writes on InfoWorld:

The rejection of China's WAPI (WLAN Authentication and Privacy Infrastructure) security protocol by an international standards group has not gone down well with Chinese backers of the technology.

In response to WAPI's rejection, the semiofficial China Broadband Wireless IP Standards Working Group (BWIPS) issued a hotly worded statement calling the results "unfair and unreasonable" and declared it was unwilling to accept the decision.

"This is unacceptable," BWIPS said.
