    This ranking of cloud start ups could be helpful to you for your research project.

    Very interesting report. People voted, not technicians, nor security agencies, just people who use the system. It seems a lot like how the personal computer came and the internet was created. Just get it up and running and security will come later. How can that be? A countries banking system just got compromised. No inspection standard to say this cloud solution is safe, just a group of people who say they can access that information when they want and the company saying it is perfectly safe. Little do they know it could also be accessed by others just as quickly - just my opinion, not quite facts yet.

    As new devices such as these come on-line, we have to take extra care on how we can secure these things. They are connected directly into our house bypassing any internet firewalls, etc...These devices such as slingbox can be remotely controlled so you're basically leaving the key to your network exposed to everyone around the World.

    This article does mention balancing some weaknesses of biometrics. The one weakness that is common right now among these systems is the use of usernames and passwords to form a secondary means of accessing the system once the biometrics no longer work. With the implementation of multi-modal systems, this could be resolved. The article also discusses international based systems, which could be difficult, personal information is a source of contention between many countries. Where is the information stored, and what laws become enforceable depending on the users point of presence?

    Interesting article thank you for posting it. As Phil and the article mentioned where is this information stored. The security of this information is deeply concenring. Not that I am a conspiracy theorist but I really do not want my biometric information to be stored on some database. I remember when my daughter was young there was a push to have your child's DNA sample taken and stored in case it was ever needed in the event the child was kidnapped or lost. After thinking about it back then I just did not see how the government having her DNA sample was a good thing. Of course if she ever comitted a crime I would like to think that I would want her punished for the crime but being a parent I also know that I would do anything to protect her, so why would I give the government a readily available DNA sample for them to identify her with. In the event a sample was needed because of some terrible event happening to her one could be provided through other methods. Just my thoughts.

    I just posted up an article on fooling biometric fingerprint scanners, Facial scanners can be fooled with photos http://thehackernews.com/2011/11/android-facial-recognition-based.html The Danger is that while one can get a new password or smart card if the old is compromised, You only have one face, two eyes and 10 fingers to use for ID and can't get new ones when someone figures out how to comprimise them.

    Thanks for the posting especially since my project deals with Ambient Intelligence wherein biometrics can be an integral part of its implementation. One of the most common and frequent incidents in Service Management is authentication. Whether it is with entering secure facilities or logging into computer systems both in the office and remotely, people tend to forget their credentials. Consequently, this causes a loss in productivity as someone tries to regain their access to systems or for system administrators to provide them with temporary access. Ambient intelligence and biometrics may seem as a viable solution since the physical characteristics is intrinsic in each individual. This presentation presents me with the cybersecurity flaws and weaknesses that should be mitigated.
  • Jocelyn Gladston on 25 Mar 13
     
    Biometrics is always something I have found to be fascinating. Because like this article stated no one knows who you are on the other end of that computer so being able to authenticate that in some sort of method is a great thing

Researchers Share Useful Lessons Learned in Evaluating Emerging Technologies - 0 views

  • Schlenoff and his colleagues used their SCORE approach to evaluate technologies as they progressed under two DARPA programs: ASSIST and TRANSTAC. In ASSIST, DARPA is funding efforts to instrument soldiers with wearable sensors—video cameras, microphones, global positioning devices and more—to continuously record activities while they are on a mission. TRANSTAC is driving the development of two-way speech-translation systems that enable speakers of different languages to communicate with each other in real-world situations, without an interpreter. By providing constructive feedback on system capabilities, the SCORE evaluative framework helps to drive innovation and performance improvements.

    SCORE (System, Component and Operationally Relevant Evaluations) is a unified set of criteria and software tools for defining a performance evaluation approach for complex intelligent systems. It provides a comprehensive evaluation blueprint that assesses the technical performance of a system and its components through isolating and changing variables as well as capturing end-user utility of the system in realistic use-case environments. The SCORE framework has proven to be widely-applicable in nature and equally relevant to technologies ranging from manufacturing to military systems. It has been applied to the evaluation of technologies in DARPA programs that range from soldier-worn sensor on patrol to speech-to-speech translation systems. It is also currently being applied to the assessing the control of autonomous vehicles on a shop floor.

    From NIST Tech Beat: June 21, 2011 Most industry executives, military planners, research managers or venture capitalists charged with assessing the potential of an R&D project probably are familiar with the wry twist on Arthur C. Clarke's third law*: "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from a rigged demo."

    IBM has been shipping computers for more than 65 years, and it is finally on the verge of creating a true electronic brain. Big Blue is announcing today that it, along with four universities and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), have created the basic design of an experimental computer chip that emulates the way the brain processes information. IBM's so-called cognitive computing chips could one day simulate and emulate the brain's ability to sense, perceive, interact and recognize - all tasks that humans can currently do much better than computers can.

    Interesting read. I came across BYOD on other school projects. I think the idea is insane. I could not believe how many organizations were encouraging the bring your own device concept to cut costs. The healthcare industry was one of the biggest advocates from the research I came across.
  • Michael Madrzykowski on 24 Jun 13
     
    Hmmm I agree with you both, this seems like a horrible idea. I cannot imagine the amount of people who do not properly update, patch and run security scans on their personal devices, I for one would not want to be connected to that in anyway, especially on a business function. I also have to think heavily about the government and contractors dealing with highly sensitive material and I cannot see these trends happening with them. Not just BYOD but also getting rid of the wired LAN's. Good/interesting post.

Mozilla: Ad Networks Have No 'Constitutional Right' To Set Cookies - 2 views

    With all of the privacy issues running rampant today, it looks like Mozilla is taking a stand against third-party cookies. Essentially they want to stop the third-party cookies from collecting data about the user's browsing habits and create the Internet people expect. Even though it isn't mentioned I think its an excellent marketing strategy against other browsers, cough cough Google, that rely on these cookies to track user habits and provide/tailor their product. This is a short description of the article: Mozilla recently drew the ire of the online ad industry by announcing plans to move forward with a project to block third-party cookies in the Firefox browser. Randall Rothenberg, President and CEO of the Interactive Advertising Bureau, publicly called on the company to retreat, arguing that it shouldn't try to implement "economic and cultural policies."

    It's bad enough that retailers are looking into or actually using camera footage to capture our spending and shopping habits without posting any warning. Thanks for the artical posting.
  • Bob Lloyd on 05 Jul 13
     
    I give Monzilla credit for being the first to step up about this issue. If they could stop the third party cookies I am sure a lot of users would jump over to their browser. The problem is that data is used for advertising which is used by companies like Monzilla to sell advertising space
