I chose the article below, entitled “Microsoft slams UK ID card database”, out of more than 10,000 blogosphere and magazine references to Jerry Fishenden’s recent piece in the Scotsman (I carried it here.) What an amazing demonstration of the way the Blogosphere can light up when someone says what needs to be said.
Jerry is the [...]
Stefan Brands pointed us recently to an editorial by Neils A Bjergstrom, long-time IT security expert and editor of the Information Security Bulletin. As Stefan says, the piece does “a great job of explaining in plain language the most important concerns and issues that ought to be addressed:”
If you still haven’t gotten around [...]
Watching Them Watching Us, from UK’s SpyBlog, posted this comment on my piece about the vile GE Entryscan:
I tried one of those GE machines at a security exhibition (priced at about a quarter of a million pounds!). Presumably the air jet blasts have been designed to forever replay the “Marilyn Monroe over a subway [...]
According to an article this week in PC World, it seems the US Passport Office is tuning in to the Fourth Law of Identity. We may not be out of the woods yet, but it it is encouraging to see that the Passport Office is listening to concerns by privacy experts and technologists about [...]

Just received — as you probably have — an e-mail invitation to the upcoming “Digital Identity World/Financial [...]
I’ve always thought Andy Dale was a very interesting person, but somehow missed out on the fact that he has been putting together a major body of work on his blog at xditao. In case it’s not obvious, the name combines XDI as in xdi.org, and tao as in what makes the world [...]
Thanks to my Internet Connection I passed on Hurricane Wilma
Kris Magnusson, who was open source program manager at Novell, pinged me recently to tell me about his new blog called http://planetary.net. I see postings like this:
Yes, I Am. . . an advocate for the Identity Metasystem. Craig Burton convinced me for reasons he didn’t know about and reasons I didn’t explain to him. [...]
Jerry Fishenden, who is Microsoft’s National Technology Officer for the UK, just contributed this first rate piece to the Scotsman:
A WELL-DESIGNED UK national identity card could help tackle many problems, including the upward trend in identity fraud and theft. But important technical, security and privacy issues need to be tackled to ensure its success.
