Instead, you use the thumbprint to encrypt or code some other information, like a password or cryptographic key, and only store the biometrically encrypted code, not the biometric itself. Shows the power of the entertainment lobby, and also the willingness of governments to bend to the pressure. This issue was addressed in a paper by the information and privacy commissioner of Ontario, Ann Cavoukian, and biometrics scientist Alex Stoianov.
Employers of IT professionals are having an increasingly difficult time finding qualified employees.
Its an interesting read - including tips on how its done. Many patents have been criticised for being issued with too low of a threshold for obviousness.
This decision may mean that we will see fewer patents of questionable innovation being issued, and some existing patents being challenged. This is a must read for CIO's, and anyone in charge of data security. There's a perception IT jobs are not to be found.
It will be interesting to find out who was behind that, why, and how they were able to fake it.
Treat paper like hazardous waste.
Make exceptions for innocuous things like newspapers.
The authors believe privacy and security are not opposites and do not need to be traded off.
The various events were well attended, some to capacity. It will be interesting to find out who was behind that, why, and how they were able to fake it.
It must stay sealed in its container at all times.
The central message of the report is that biometric encryption technology promises a "positive-sum" win-win scenario for all involved. To start, don't create or keep paper records to begin with unless they are necessary.
Employers of IT professionals are having an increasingly difficult time finding qualified employees. There may be a better way to transfer the information.
The default thought process should be to securely shred all paper when it is no longer needed. The first is the identifiers will be used by the party holding it for purposes unintended by the individual.
