Article supports drones as being an emerging technology. ASSignment1, Part1 Support

Interesting article, It seems to me that this is just another one of those cases about flexing the "muscle" of the Freedom of Information Act. In my opinion it is pretty common knowledge that targeted drone strikes are being used to eliminate enemies; so why is it so important here that the C.I.A. has to acknowledge these attacks? What would that accomplish? The media outlets already report on successful drone strikes and now there are even military medals to recognize drone pilots. http://www.fsunews.com/article/20130318/FSVIEW0303/130317001/New-military-medal-stirs-controversy-?odyssey=mod|newswell|text|frontpage|s

I just wonder how long it's going to take before something comes out of these attacks. Using these drones to fly into other countries like Pakistan, and "take out" suspected enemies is pretty borderline in my opinion. If this were to happen in America, we would certainly not stand for it, and would declare war on the country that carried out the action. Pushing the button from California on a drone missle is alot like conducting cyber warfare from one country to another. The damage that can be done is becoming greater and greater every day as technology is starting to tie together national infrastructures. In my opinion, drones are the some of the first of the cyber warfare machines.

For your cloud computing assignment

I liked this article very much and understand his concerns. It is very hard to trust something that you can't examine. How do cloud computing agencies validate their systems, with there be a GOP security report that tells us what agencies are legitimate. I have to read that top 10 cloud reporting article to see exactly how that was determined.

I don't know how fancy we are supposed to be with sharing these web resources, but I enjoy twitter because of how fast and easy current events are presented.

Just a heads up on why I don't like biometric Authentication. It gets worse when used for Identification. I'll try to find a link

Glen, This did a little to damage fingerprint biometric technologies when it was first discussed in the public. I read the original article I think, when Matsumoto was using original gelatin to fake the scanners. There was also a documentary, or short news clip I had seen awhile back in which he demonstrated it. Newer technologies are starting to combine (multi-factor) authentication in order to gain access now, such as fingerprint and iris. This should help curb things like this, as well as stop the backdoor of username and password. phil
