  •  
    Another clever Romanian - important figure to look into. Anticipation interesting in same way as futureful and other concepts from Jarno Kopenen - semiotic thread runs though Pierre Levy's work as well on IEML

Key management - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 1 views

  • Key management
  • his includes dealing with the generation, exchange, storage, use, and replacement of keys.
  • Key management concerns keys at the user level, either between users or systems.

  • This is in contrast to key scheduling; key scheduling typically refers to the internal handling of key material within the operation of a cipher.
  • it involves system policy, user training, organizational and departmental interactions, and coordination between all of these elements.
  • Public Key Infrastructure (PKI)
  • A public key infrastructure is a type of key management system that uses hierarchical digital certificates to provide authentication, and public keys to provide encryption. PKIs are used in World Wide Web traffic, commonly in the form of SSL and TLS.

Chubb detector lock - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 0 views

  • A Chubb detector lock is a type of lever tumbler lock with an integral security feature, a form of relocker, which frustrates unauthorised access attempts and indicates to the lock's owner that it has been interfered with. When someone tries to pick the lock or to open it using the wrong key, the lock is designed to jam in a locked state until (depending on the lock) either a special regulator key or the original key is inserted and turned in a different direction. This alerts the owner to the fact that the lock has been tampered with.

Card reader - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 0 views

  • Smart card
  • There are two types of smart cards: contact and contactless. Both have an embedded microprocessor and memory. The smart card differs from the proximity card in that the microchip in the proximity card has only one function: to provide the reader with the card's identification number. The processor on the smart card has an embedded operating system and can handle multiple applications such as a cash card, a pre-paid membership card, or an access control card.
  • A contactless card does not have to touch the reader or even be taken out of a wallet or purse. Most access control systems only read serial numbers of contactless smart cards and do not utilize the available memory. Card memory may be used for storing biometric data (i.e. fingerprint template) of a user. In such case a biometric reader first reads the template on the card and then compares it to the finger (hand, eye, etc.) presented by the user. In this way biometric data of users does not have to be distributed and stored in the memory of controllers or readers, which simplifies the system and reduces memory requirements.
