Snippet:

USB Implementers Forum (USB-IF), the support organization for the advancement and adoption of USB technology, today announced the launch of its USB Type-C™ Authentication Program, marking an important milestone for the optional USB security protocol. The USB Type-C Authentication specification defines cryptographic-based authentication for USB Type-C chargers and devices.

 

I don't like this ... And that also applies to Europe or anyone else on this planet I think ...
 

Regards,

Jacob

Nothing new. It was clear/published years ago that usb will have this feature. The only news is that they start promoting it.

Potential for abuse. Makes proprietary lockout very easy. Much like Apples T2 chip. You can make "Un-authorized" 3rd party device incompatible with your device. 

ah that makes more sense
