US credit cards outdated, less useful abroad, as 'chip and PIN' cards catch on - 1 views

  • Smart card transactions can be quicker, because the terminal and card communicate with each other -- the terminal verifying that the card is authentic and vice versa -- instead of the terminal having to communicate via Internet or wireless with the card issuer to verify that the card is real and hasn't been reported lost or stolen, says Randy Vanderhoof, executive director of the Smart Card Alliance, a nonprofit organization that works to promote the adoption of smart card technology.
  • Also, when a card leaves the cardholder's physical presence, it can be compromised, using a hand-held information-stealing device called a skimmer,
  • in which information is encoded into a magnetic stripe on the back of the card, and the newer so-called smart cards, which contain a computer chip that holds information.

  • So-called card cloning also can be easier with magnetic stripe cards. Vanderhoof says: "With chip-and-PIN, it's nearly impossible to create a fake card."

BBC News - Military fact file: Drones - 3 views

  • These strange-looking planes carry a wealth of sensors in their bulbous noses: colour and black-and-white TV cameras, image intensifiers, radar, infra-red imaging for low-light conditions and lasers for targeting. They can also be armed with laser-guided missiles.
  • Each multi-million dollar Predator or Reaper system comprises four aircraft, a ground control station and a satellite link.
  • Although drones are unmanned, they are not unpiloted - trained crew at base steer the craft, analyse the images which the cameras send back and act on what they see

How will the national identity card work? - 2 views

  • For the smart card technology to work, it must be backed up by fingerprint and eye-scanners in banks, shops, estate agents, hotels, and public services such as hospitals. To check your identity they in turn must have 24hr access to the National Identity Register (NIR). Every time the card is used, information about when, where, and how it was used is stored on the database in the form of an audit log.
