<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>It will be interesting to find out who was behind
that, why, and how they were able to fake it.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>In that model, the actual biological identifier,
such as our thumbprint, is not actually stored anywhere.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The report discusses privacy-enhanced uses of
biometrics, with a particular focus on the privacy and security advantages of
biometric encryption. This issue was addressed in a paper by the information and
privacy commissioner of Ontario, Ann Cavoukian, and biometrics scientist Alex
Stoianov. Its an interesting read - including tips on how its done.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>This approach allows allows for long, complex and
more effective passwords or keys that we don't have to remember. I thought we'd get
a straight 'no comment'. One recommendation I was expecting was to make privacy
breach notification mandatory. There are also service providers that come to your
premises with a truck that shreds the material on the spot.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>There's a perception IT jobs are not to be found.
Many of the changes are welcome, and many suggest adopting approaches taken in
Alberta and BC provincial privacy legislation.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>And if it must be done, encrypt it so if it does go
missing, it can't be read.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Biometrics have been touted for some time as a
solution, but biometric authentication has its problems as well. We constantly see
stories about data breaches - many of them from simple faux-pas like throwing paper
in a dumpster. One topic addressed is the IT career gap.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The lesson is that unless you can actually restore
from a backup, its not really a backup. I'd guess extortion in various forms is
fairly commonplace in Colombia and it must be an uphill struggle for the authorities
there in trying to end it.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>That is counter to the usual thought that most
entrepreneurs are risk takers. No one can be an expert at everything. It also can
lead to serious security issues.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Or an audacious art project.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>It will soon be available online at the
TechAlliance website.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Make exceptions for innocuous things like
newspapers.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The Hyundai importer in Colombia is now publicly
saying that it was blackmailed on one occasion into supplying vehicles after a
kidknapping.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Others need to understand what you do. Deputy
editor Graeme Roberts will be there for just-auto. Effective passwords are difficult
to remember, especially for the number of them we seem to need. One topic addressed
is the IT career gap.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>We constantly see stories about data breaches -

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Various privacy commissioners take the position
that mere password control access is not enough.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Recently in Toronto, a retired social worker found
hundreds of order forms from a large corporation in an alley complete with
addresses, phone and SIN numbers of customers.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Harrison Pensa LLP is a founding member of
TechAlliance, premier sponsor for this event, and a member of its IT advisory
counsel. Still, we'll know a little more about Nanjing's Longbridge plans next week.
- Fine-tune your message.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Various privacy commissioners take the position
that mere password control access is not enough. There are thus two main risks. The
British economy is performing quite acceptably as far as most people are
concerned.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Exchange rate factors are a part of the mix. I
submit that he is not protecting his privacy, he's really giving up his privacy to
protect himself against being wrongfully accused.</FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
