Putting
Contactless Technology To Consumer Use
A new technology is in the works for a system that
allows customers wave their cell phone over a scanner to make a payment,
and its security is said to be rock solid according to USA Today.
Encrypted payment information travels through the air from the phone to
the scanner. The system is based on contactless technology already in
some smart cards -- credit cards and key fobs embedded with chips so
they can be used instead of swiping a magnetic credit card. Chips are
finding their way into driver's licenses, passports and other forms of
identification, and contactless cards are used in many transit systems.

Cyberspace
Security Opinion Varies Across Board
How the military and how business and industry view
cyberspace is different than how everyday people view it, an expert in
security for Microsoft told The Shreveport Times.
The military sees cyberspace as "the electromagnetic spectrum," from
copper wires to microwaves, where communications, control, intelligence
and energy can be delivered to defend, destroy or shape the world, just
like land, air, sea and space.
"But some 85-90 percent of what is critical infrastructure in cyberspace
is not in government hands," says David Aucsmith, who in more than 20
years in telecommunications security work has dealt with the military,
business and government agencies.
