Oakland Privacy Activists Threaten To Sue The City To Stop Surveillance Project
Captain Darren Allison addressed the League of Women Voters forum last week on the DAC. A coalition of activists opposed to the construction of Oakland’s Domain Awareness Center say they’re ready to take the city to court to stop the controversial surveillance project. Brian Hofer, a lawyer working with the Oakland Privacy Working Group, is delivering a letter to Mayor Jean Quan, the city council, the city administrator, and the city attorney today. The letter states that the group will "seek judicial relief" to halt the project. Hofer and his clients claim that the planned contractor to carry out work on Phase 2 of the DAC, Schneider Electric, is also a nuclear weapons contractor, and that hiring the company would violate Oakland’s Nuclear Weapons Free Zone Ordinance. The Express reported on November 19, 2013 that all of the contractors under consideration for the contract to build the DAC were linked to nuclear weapons work , but that Schneider Electric seemed to have only indirect contracts, providing security cameras to a Navy nuclear weapons facility. Since then the Oakland Privacy Working Group uncovered detailed evidence of what they say is Schneider Electric’s close work with military and US Energy Department agencies that design, build, and deploy nuclear weapons systems. The letter delivered to the city today includes a photocopy of Schneider Electric marketing materials in which the company describes itself as a "global specialist" in "weapon launching control system for nuclear submarines," and "nuclear weapons handling systems." The activists have […]

a.p.i. Monitoring Adds Support For IP Communications From Bosch Systems
A long-discussed plan to bring free WiFi to downtown Beaufort could be up and running by the end of February. A “wire-cutting” ceremony is tentatively planned for Feb. 28. Main Street Beaufort, USA, has been working with Hargray Communications and the city of Beaufort on the plan, which would bring wireless Internet service to the Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park. Transmission equipment would be set up at the park’s pavilion and at the restrooms near the playground. “I’m ready to pull my big scissors out of my closet and sharpen them up so we cut that wire,” Main Street Beaufort executive director LaNelle Fabian said. “I love when we cross long-term projects off our list.” To use the WiFi on a smartphone, tablet, computer or other device, people will have to pass through a landing page with advertisements, information and links related to Beaufort. The service, which will cost $9,000 for the first year, is being paid for in part by that advertising. There are 17 ad spaces, with costs ranging from $375 to $1,500 for the banner at the top of the page, Fabian said. “I tried to keep the price down and small-business friendly, because our first go-around is going to be to downtown businesses so they can target the people who are downtown,” she said. Main Street seeks $4,500 in accommodations-tax money from the city to pay for the rest. The accommodations tax, often referred to as a “bed tax,” is a levy on overnight lodging […]

Biometrics: A Field That?s More Than Meets The Eye
biometrics By Maryalene LaPonsie, OnlineDegrees.com Cellphone passwords are so passé. With the launch of the iPhone 5s, the new way to unlock your cellphone is with a fingerprint. It is one of the latest — and most visible — ways biometrics is going from the realm of sci-fi fantasy to mainstream reality. Biometrics holds the potential to do everything from enhance national security to improve marketing displays in stores. It’s a hot field that isn’t going to be replaced anytime soon, meaning there should be plenty of jobs in the biometric field for years to come. Biometric basics According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation , biometrics are biological or behavioral characteristics that can be measured. In other words, biometrics is what allows Facebook to suggest you tag your roommate in that photo on your newsfeed. It also includes voice recognition, optical scans and even the keystroke dynamics of how someone types on the computer. Despite the recent hype around biometrics with the iPhone launch, it is nothing new. The granddaddy of biometrics is fingerprinting, and the FBI has been amassing a collection of fingerprints since 1924. Even the more high tech biometric applications aren’t all that new. Consider that more than 20 years ago, Robert Redford was fumbling to convince a security system “My voice is my passport” as he worked to bypass a biometric system in 1992′s minor cult classic “Sneakers.” What is new is the price. While biometric systems were previously so expensive that their applications […]

Zwipe Offers Fingerprint-Authenticated RFID Access-Control Card
Norwegian startup Zwipe is marketing a new passive Near Field Communication (NFC) RFID access-control card that incorporates a fingerprint scanner to authenticate an individual before the card responds to an RFID reader. Initially, the company has signed contracts with two access-control technology distributors—one in the United States and the other in Europe—both of which have asked to remain unnamed. Commercial release of the card, known as Zwipe Access, follows two pilots in Oslo—one conducted at Telemark University College (TUC), and the other at law firm Simonsen Vogt Wiig —says Kim Kristian Humborstad, Zwipe’s CEO and cofounder. The card is also being tested by several other small Norwegian companies, he says. At Simonsen Vogt Wiig, the Zwipe technology is being used by the law firm’s Stanley Security Solutions NFC-based access-control system. At TUC, as well as for several other pilots, Zwipe is providing a Salto Systems X4 door controller with a built-in RFID reader that supports cards made with NXP Semiconductors ‘ Mifare DESFire EV1 chip. Zwipe Access was first conceived by Humborstad and a fellow student at TUC’s school of innovation and entrepreneurship, Humborstad explains. Initially, he says, the team was focused on creating secure identification solutions that could authenticate an individual without intruding upon the user’s privacy. They were interested in how technology could be employed at grocery or convenience stores, for example, to prove a customer buying liquor or other controlled products was who he said he was. Eventually, Humborstad reports, they found a market for improved […]
