What amazes me though is how many patents I encounter that have been granted for some of the most obvious, well-known and ordinary techniques we use in the authentication process. In fact, every imaginable aspect of password selection, authentication, storage, and recovery seems to be covered by one or more patents.As the title says, the process of checking for common or weak passwords is patented. In fact, it is covered by quite a few patents: 1.System for controlling access to a secure system by verifying acceptability 2.Specifying a set of forbidden passwords 3.Preventing trivial character combinations 4.Password strength checking method and apparatus… 5.Method and system for proactive password validation 6.Method, system, and storage medium for determining trivial keyboard sequences of proposed passwords 7.Apparatus and method for indicating password quality and variety

his article explains why supplying data to researchers is set to become a profitable line of business for entities that hold large stores of health data in electronic form. Health information systems are a form of infrastructure, and Congress's cost-based fee for data preparation and transmission echoes pricing schemes traditionally used in other infrastructure industries such as railroads, electric power transmission, and telecommunications. Cost-based fees for infrastructure services, of constitutional necessity, must allow recovery of operating and capital costs including a return on invested capital-in other words, a profit margin.  This fee structure is being launched in an emerging 21st-century research landscape where biomedical discovery will depend more than it has in the past on studies that harness existing stores of data-such as insurance claims and healthcare data-that were created for purposes other than the research itself. This article explores why, in this environment, the new fee structure has the potential to destabilize already-fragile public trust and invite state-law responses that could override key provisions of federal privacy regulations, with devastating consequences for researchers' future access to data. To avoid this outcome, the cost-based fee must be thoughtfully implemented and accompanied by reform of the HIPAA waiver provision now used to approve nonconsensual use of people's health data in research. This article identifies specific defects of the existing framework for approving nonconsensual uses of data with the aim of eliciting a wider debate about what the reforms ought to be.
