The Trusted Computing Group (TCG) has announced Arm has today joined the Board of Directors, with Dong Wei appointed as its representative.
The ubiquitous Arm compute platform touches 100 percent of the connected population, with over 300 billion Arm-based chips powering devices and solutions from cloud to the edge. As a member of the Board, Arm will bring a range of perspectives across different markets and its wide-ranging CPU architecture ecosystem to ensure TCG standards and specifications remain suitable for today’s computing landscape.
“We are delighted to welcome Arm and Dong Wei to the TCG Board of Directors,” said TCG President Joe Pennisi. “Arm delivers one of the most power-efficient, highest-performing compute platforms, and is a leading player in driving security standards across the server, PC, and IoT ecosystems. Dong and other Arm members have contributed significantly to TCG, making Arm a welcome addition to our Board.”
Dong Wei will serve as the Arm representative on the Board. Having joined Arm in 2016, Dong leads the Arm SystemReady compliance program, defining the hardware and firmware standards for Arm-based systems in data centers, industrial edge, and IoT markets. He also leads the system manageability and security requirements for these systems. In this standards-based effort, Dong covers industry standards such as PCIe, TCG, CXL, UCIe, UEFI/ACPI, DMTF, OCP and OPI.
“As the technology landscape evolves in the age of AI, we need to ensure that security and trust remain at the heart everything we do,” said Arm Fellow and Lead Standards Architect of the Architecture and Technology Group Dong Wei. “I look forward to representing Arm on the TCG Board of Directors as we collaborate to further strengthen the levels of security and make computing more resilient across all sectors and applications.”
TCG and Arm technologies already intersect in a number of crucial ways. Arm’s integrated Root-of-Trust (RoT) implements TCG’s DICE standard, and the company uses both low-cost firmware TPMs and virtual TPMs in its Confidential Compute architecture.
Within the TCG itself, Arm has made significant contributions to the ACPI and EFI Protocol specifications developed by the Server Work Group, the TPM and Firmware Profiles by the PC Client Work Group, and the DPE and Endorsement Architecture for Devices specification by the DICE Work Group. In 2024, these contributions led the TCG Board of Directors to award Stuart Yoder with the organization’s Key Contributor Award.
