Buying biometrically into big brother? Privium is an
IBM-backed pay service at Amsterdam's
Schipho
l Airport that allows passengers to identify themselves by iris
recognition and thus speed their way through security checks. This
being the privacy-respecting Netherlands, the biometric information
is not stored in a central database, but only on a card you carry with
you; other countries may not be so enlightened. This could well become
a standard form of identification. In the meantime, could the failure
to buy this service qualify someone as a security or insurance risk?

In his latest Langalist, Fred Langa presents a letter from someone
whose pen drive was destroyed by the x-ray scanner at the Cincinnati
airport. According to Fred, the powerful magnets used in generating
and focusing the x-rays — not the x-rays themselves — were
likely the cause of the pen drive’s untimely demise. The
incident points up that we tend to forget how delicate some of these
devices are….

Computer Security Shifting Metaphors:
It's An Airport, Not A Fortress
11/04/2003 04:07 AMWhile some may laugh at anyone spending so much time trying to come up
with a metaphor for computer security, it does often influence how
people think about certain problems and what solutions they're likely
to create. So, it's interesting to read one suggestion that we need
to stop thinking of computer security like the machine is a "fortress"
and everyone needs to be kept out. Instead, they suggest,
it's like an airport - where you let
everyone in, but restrict them to certain areas and have security
checks along the way. Does this mean I'm going to have to take off my
shoes the next time I visit a "secure" site?

That rule about not holding a baby during a search--what
is up with that?? Believe me, I am fully capable of holding my child
far enough from my body to get that little wand where it needs to go,
but there was just no negotiating a compromise. I had a purple,
writhing, screaming baby, a toddler, and a preschooler with me, not to
mention a double stroller clogging up the gate, and in the end I
actually had to put the baby on the ground so that they could put me
in the off-balance stance, search me, and invesitgate the wire in my
bra.

Laptops and Servers
Laptops and Servers
02/01/2005 09:44 PMIt just dawned on me that in a desk-side box, heat is not a major
problem because it’s got a room to cool it off, usually without too
many other computers in it. Laptops, however, are like back-room
“mainframe” servers in that heat is a big deal. In the one case
you’re worried about your users’ gonads and in the other your HVAC
budget, but the problem is the same. Right now, the heat budget is a
big concern for the guys at Sun who design our biggest servers. It’s
no secret that our
throughput
computing initiative is partly about this: lower clock speeds,
more cores,
thread-level
parallelism. Am I predicting that laptops with SPARC processors
will be leaping off the shelves next quarter? I wouldn’t go that
far. But I am smelling converging design spaces.

Airport security and laptops
Every time you go through
security you take out all the crap from your pockets, take off your
shoes (hope you're wearing clean socks), take off the coat, and take
out the laptop. Then it all goes in those plastic buckets and then on
the screener belt, and comes out the other end, bumping down a short
incline and slamming into a steel wall at moderate speed. Now your
shoes were built to take this kind of abuse, but what about the
laptop?
