Cloud Data Storage: Annotated Bibliography As the authors note, this paper analyses and discusses various methods like adopting cryptographic methods, writing access rights and policies, segregating or fragmenting and then reconstructing the data, etc. All these approaches would preserve the privacy of user and data and while performing public auditing on the cloud. This survey is quite useful because it shows information in several security methodologies involving cloud computing and data storage. It provides with several approaches to the auditing of these systems and ensuring that data stored is secured.

Cloud Data Storage: Annotated Bibliography In this research document, the authors provide us with a study of data storage in the cloud. It focuses on the management, operation and security of data stored for long periods of time in the cloud. This item is useful for the fact that it can present several demographics to business regarding cloud computing security, data storage functionality and also cites several business surveys that can assist in organizations to make the decision to migrate to cloud computing services and data storage.

Cloud Data Storage: Annotated Bibliography In this document the authors shows us the migration that business are taking from handling data from their grid to using cloud data storage services. This document focuses on how to use database libraries with data stored in the cloud. It provides guidance in using tools like SQL, Hadoop and HBase mapping. This item can be useful for business to access their databases from information stored in the cloud and can be very helpful.

Cloud Data Storage: Annotated Bibliography The authors in the document provide technical details on securing data on the cloud. It shows guides system administrators on the use of Access Control Lists (ACLs), program scripting, and how to implement several methodologies and techniques to maintain a high level of security of data in the cloud. This is a very technical report but is helpful to show insight on how system administrators maintain a secure backbone in the cloud.

Biometrics - Fingerprinting. This source explains the history of biometrics and how biometrics have got to where they are now.

Biometrics - Fingerprinting. This source is an example in what companies, government entities as well as products are taking finger prints from people who are applying for credit card, crossing the boarder and how it has stream-lined their process.

Biometrics - Fingerprinting. This source is from Capella University. It explains how identity fraud can be reduced with the use of fingerprinting.

Conflicts are become ever increasing and I used this source to show that the U.S. will be relying more on small forces such as the SEAL team in conjunction with unmanned robots.

This source describes various applications of robotic usage by the military. It also talks about damages caused by them whether intentional or by mistakes.

The author of this article presents the anticipated growth of gesture control technology. It is already used in Smart phones; however, the author presented information about the expansion of this technology to laptop and personal computers. The author presented how this technology has developed presenting that the beginning formation of this technology has been seen in gaming systems that allow the user to use their body movements to control their avatar. Australian researchers are developing similar technology to be used to control the television.

Posted by Gesture-recognition technology's role in redefining usability in consumer electronics has been discussed in great detail already. Music players you can mute by snapping your fingers, TVs that switch off when you walk away from them, the new Google glass that reportedly clicks pictures when you wink are all rapidly taking gesture-control technology mainstream.

The authors of this article explain that the function of a Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) is especially valuable during a medical emergency where prioritization becomes necessary.

This article explores the emergence of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) and the significant role they play in the area of medical care in this case, telemedicine.

The authors of this article suggest the advent of technology has necessitated a move away from the traditional approach to health care especially where it concerns the continuous monitoring of patients.

This article by Patricia Sheehan explores the way technology is improving the delivery of health care services to senior citizens.

This article explores wireless body area sensor network (WBASN). According to the authors, WBASN are used by elderly patients who require continuous monitoring.

Ease of transition from physical to virtual

For immediate use May 15, 2012 Tokyo, May 15, 2012 - NEC Corporation (NEC; TSE: 6701) announced today the development of an interactive technology that allows the control of information through a combination of user gestures and the display of images from a projector.

A smaller version of the simple device known as the beagle board can be inserted into an apple charger to pose multiple security risks for the once secure hardware developer.

This is the website of Black Hat that lists the dates of the Las Vegas security conference, where the unveiling of the device known as Mactans (charger that is capable of hacking into an iPhone) will take place.
