Washington
University Predicts An RFID-Filled Future
Some University of Washington (UW) students, faculty
and staff are being tracked as they move about the computer-science
building, with details of where they've been, and with whom, stored in a
database.
The project is meant to explore both positive and negative aspects of a
world saturated with technology that can monitor people and objects
remotely.
"What we want to understand," Professor Gaetano Borriello says, "is what
makes it useful, what makes it threatening and how to balance the two."

Report Says
Patients At Risk Of Hospital Security Policy Gaps
The health care industry’s focus on medical privacy
and compliance has fostered a lack of awareness around the frequency,
cause and seriousness of patient identity theft, according to the 2008
HIMSS Analytics Report: Security of Patient Data commissioned by Kroll
Fraud Solutions, a provider of data protection and identity theft
response services. The report reveals a significant blind spot that
hinders hospital efforts to contain the problem and reduce risk.
“Health care facilities are complex environments where information is
stored and shared in a number of ways that are critical to patient
well-being,” says Brian Lapidus, chief operating officer of Kroll
Fraud Solutions. “Until health care organizations expand their data
security measures to address the threat of data compromise as well as
privacy and compliance, patients will continue to be at risk.”
