The article was written by Bruce and published on CNN this month. It discusses the fact that almost everything we do can be and is monitored by someone, and eventually is subject to Government purvue. He shows how several key people who have been found their way into law enforcement pathways have taken many precautions, but all eventually were caught by other means which were correlated together to form the big picture.

Phil, I have to say after reading this I am glad I still have a flip phone with no smart technology on it. I have read were your smart phones embed the lat/long into pictures if that function is turned on and that data can be retrieved from facebook if you have the right software. It just goes to show that what we see on TV has an impact on what we have in real life. Lee

Here is a primer on Near Field Communications (NFC) which is a set of standards for smartphones that establishes radio communication between similar devices which are in close proximity. It is a subset for RFID (radio-frequency identification) and is being integrated into our daily lives as in most technology. The low-cost NFC tags practical uses are limited only by imagination, the challenge will be is to mitigate the cybersecurity risks it poses.

Here is another video presentation on NFC. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_RBbuGwC7Eg

I have to say this was a very interesting video to watch, and I see now how these things work and what we can do with them. I do like the fact that they have a shorter range than Bluetooth as well as less power consumption. I would still be worried about losing information when say on a crowded train or bus. People could brush up against your phone and you may not realize it. thanks for sharing. Lee

"With the increasing use of wireless networks and miniaturization of electronic Devices has allowed the realization of Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs). It is one of the latest technologies in health care diagnosis and management. WBAN consists of various intelligent bio sensors attached on or implanted in the body like under the skin. "

Describese the efforts to create cyberweapons and some good descriptions of some that are in development

"System consists of identically designed sensor modules which are self-sustaining, wireless, act as transmitters and receivers and are equipped with a special sensor technology for long-term monitoring of buildings or engineering facilities. The sensor unit uses strain gauges for stress analysis and contains interfaces for additional sensors. The system in particular applies to buildings and structures for transport and traffic and large-scale industrial facilities, where a subsequent wiring installation is difficult or impossible."

How we can make buckets of money due to the changing cybersecurity environment and the tools we will have to develop and be proficient with. Good stuff about the DHS in cybersecurity here

The US shift from defense to offense and the development of 'cyberweapons'

"A new rule based attribute selection algorithm for removing the redundant attributes which are used in decision making on intrusions in wireless sensor networks. This work focuses mainly on finding important attributes to find Denial of Service attacks. "

If you want to know about cloud computing or the Flame virus, you need to read this article

"The design of sensors that are small, low cost, low power and combined with its ability to be left unattended has made it more viable and indirectly promotes its popularity for future solutions in various real-life challenges. However, in sensor network, the nodes are physically accessible by adversaries and have been known to expose cryptographic materials such as the encryption keys and other important data in the sensor nodes"
