Online ID Verification Plan Carries Risks using RFID Chip and Biometrics to get online.

Image via WikipediaMany people actually think this could be a good thing. Using Biometrics to prove who you say you are. Though on the outside this seems like a great idea. On the inside, this is no different than numbering the Jews to wipe them out.

Social Media climbs at extreme rates. People hacking sites and information are only making it even worse for the people who use everything honestly.

The general idea of RFID seems to reflect a very good idea to keep track of products and animals. But now? The Dream Act, Obamacare and several other bills passed are pushing the idea to track and have ALL personal information on a chip. Using things like eye scans or fingerprints, Facial recognition to prove who you say you are. Sound like a good idea? You may want to re think before you begin supporting this major issue everyone seem to want to ignore today.

All online data is easily hacked. Not some, Security is mostly just word not reality when it comes to online hacking. This also includes everything we use today. From your Cell phone or what they call Smart phones, anything basicly with the word Smart is a tracking system. That's why its called Smart. Also, All your info on your phone is and can be hacked. GPS for location, Facebook and G plus for who you are and what you look like, Friends and family and so on.

http://todaysworldnewsinfo.blogspot.com/2011/03/national-chip-id-card-for-american.html

There is also, New cards with RFID chips that combine all this information and is stored in a database. Along with new cars, plugs to go into your car. (for better rates) so they say. Gaming devices that go online, All social media, and phone numbers, banking info and the list goes on and on and on. All this can and will be placed on these chips. All for the your safety as it's called.



What many people don't know is that anyone with an 8 dollar scanner can and will and have already hacked these chips and shows how easy it can be done. Yet, it seems most don't have a clue about this. You can do a simple search on this site using the Word RFID. I have several links on this show this information. I will also post a few here.

Now look at this article and think, Is this really a good Idea?

See the full article here.
http://www.nytimes.com/2011/09/18/business/online-id-verification-plan-carries-risks.html?_r=1
Consumers who still pay bills via snail mail. Hospitals leery of making treatment records available online to their patients. Some state motor vehicle registries that require car owners to appear in person — or to mail back license plates — in order to transfer vehicle ownership.
But the White House is out to fight cyberphobia with an initiative intended to bolster confidence in e-commerce.
The plan, called the National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace and introduced earlier this year, encourages the private-sector development and public adoption of online user authentication systems. Think of it as a driver’s license for the Internet. The idea is that if people have a simple, easy way to prove who they are online with more than a flimsy password, they’ll naturally do more business on the Web. And companies and government agencies, like Social Security or the I.R.S., could offer those consumers faster, more secure online services without having to come up with their own individual vetting systems.
If the plan works, consumers who opt in might soon be able to choose among trusted third parties — such as banks, technology companies or cellphone service providers — that could verify certain personal information about them and issue them secure credentials to use in online transactions.
Industry experts expect that each authentication technology would rely on at least two different ID confirmation methods. Those might include embedding an encryption chip in people’s phones, issuing smart cards or using one-time passwords or biometric identifiers like fingerprints to confirm substantial transactions. Banks already use two-factor authentication, confirming people’s identities when they open accounts and then issuing depositors with A.T.M. cards, says Kaliya Hamlin, an online identity expert known by the name of her Web site, Identity Woman.

Image by mcritz via FlickrFact, throughout my studies of this software it constantly brings me to same exact spot. This is extremely dangerous for anyone who uses this tech. I know of several people who have been victims in the past. Not just from ex's but also many who have been raped or involved with very bad organizations that could bring serous harm to themselves or their families.
I had recently joined Google Plus as well. Up until they brought out a Real name policy.
You can see it here. http://www.google.com/support/+/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=1228271
Yet so many people on there are helping pushing this idea, totally ignoring the dangers this involves to people like I mention about. I'm not talking a couple of people, I mean thousands are supporting the idea of real names and calling those who don't use them Trolls. This shows me a lot about how misinformed the general public is about what they are pushing.
At this point I'm find Google plus to be even more dangerous to people than Facebook is. Those who know me, know that's a big deal for me to say. Here is more info to check out as well.

Why Facebook Facial Recognition Should Scare You

COLUMN: Facebook threatens to make your face your identity and connect it to any other information you give to the social network.

http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/159537/20110608/facebook-facial-recognition.htm

You might think Facebook’s facial recognition feature isn’t so bad right now.  After all, it’s only an auto-suggestion among friends to tag your photo.  Also, you can ‘opt out’ of this function (i.e. not allow Facebook to auto-suggest your name to your friends).

However, the real danger is in the existence of Facebook’s facial identity database.

Why is that bad? Consider this scenario.

A bunch of protestors march down the main street in the capital city.  The secret police takes a photo of the group. They identify these individuals through Facebook’s recognition system.   Next morning, they round these people up and ‘disappear’ them.

But wait a minute, wouldn’t Facebook refuse to divulge that information?  That’s probably true, but it doesn’t mean governments can’t access it.

When Facebook facial recognition gears up, governments can easily infiltrate Facebook networks with moles, especially considering the indiscriminate way many Facebook users accept friend request.

In fact, the moles don’t even have to be real people; the US government is already successfully tracking suspected criminals through fake Facebook accounts.

There is also straight up hacking, which repressive governments are not shy to do. Finally, ten years from now, who knows how cooperative Facebook will become towards heavy-handed regimes?

While opting out of Facebook’s features protects you from moles, it won’t protect you from hacking and Facebook choosing to turn over your information.

I used repressive government regimes as an example, but this applies to all sorts of people, organizations, and situations. 

Before, you couldn’t be identified as long as you don’t provide your name or don’t leave any ID.  Now, you could be through a simple picture of you taken by a camera phone.  From there, your phone number, address, email, place of employment, the identities of your family members, and any other information you give to Facebook could be accessed.

The point is that Facebook is building a facial database that’s far from secure.  Ironically, it’s an issue of ‘opting in’ in the physical space. 

In modern society, it’s necessary to have identifications.  Before, you control whether or not you identify yourself in the physical world.  Now, if Facebook has its way, it’ll only take the showing of your face.

See the rest of it here. http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/159537/20110608/facebook-facial-recognition.htm

Now take the Real Name added to this technology. It seems I'm not the only one that went through this. Yet Thousand of people still don't see the danger in having your Real name attached to your Real Photo with Facial Recognition open to the public World Wide?

Google Plus’s “Real Name” policy is abusive; Facebook is not a “Real Name” success story

See full article here. http://boingboing.net/2011/08/04/google-pluss-real-name-policy-is-abusive-facebook-is-not-a-real-name-success-story.html

Posted by Cory Doctorow on Thursday, Aug 4th at 1:17pm

Here's danah boyd in very good form, explaining why "Real Name" policies like the one Google has rammed down Google Plus users' throats (and like the insanely naive one that Randi Zuckerberg would like to foist on the entire Internet) are an abuse of power: Over and over again, people keep pointing to Facebook as an example where “real names” policies work. This makes me laugh hysterically. One of the things that became patently clear to me in my fieldwork is that countless teens who signed up to Facebook late into the game chose to use pseudonyms or nicknames. What’s even more noticeable in my data is that an extremely high percentage of people of color used pseudonyms as compared to the white teens that I interviewed. Of course, this would make sense…
The people who most heavily rely on pseudonyms in online spaces are those who are most marginalized by systems of power. “Real names” policies aren’t empowering; they’re an authoritarian assertion of power over vulnerable people. These ideas and issues aren’t new (and I’ve even talked about this before), but what is new is that marginalized people are banding together and speaking out loudly. And thank goodness.
Again now take a good long read at this technology and what it can do. Here is a pdf file you can save for future use.

Privacy Risks Increase as Facial Recognition Technology Improves

http://www.tmcnet.com/topics/articles/203622-privacy-risks-increase-as-facial-recognition-technology-improves.htm

By Ed Silverstein, TMCnet Contributor

Facial recognition is an Internet feature which is growing in popularity. But while Facebook and Google (News - Alert) are expanding facial recognition options – researchers from Carnegie Mellon University are warning about the dangers it poses to privacy.

Several Carnegie Mellon researchers were able to ID some one-third of the subjects they tested, using a photo and facial-recognition technology from Google.
Alarmingly, one of lead researchers, Alessandro Acquisti, said that 27% of the time, using data from the subjects’ Facebook (News - Alert) profiles, they could correctly identify the first five digits of the subject’s Social Security numbers, according to a report from The Wall Street Journal.
“Two experiments demonstrated the ability of identifying strangers online (on a dating site where individuals protect their identities by using pseudonyms) and offline (in a public space), based on photos made publicly available on a social network site,” Acquisti wrote on his website. “A third … experiment illustrated the ability of inferring strangers' personal or sensitive information (their interests and Social Security numbers) from their faces, by combining face recognition, data mining algorithms, and statistical re-identification techniques.”
The results of the study raise many issues on “the future of privacy in an ‘augmented’ reality world in which online and offline data will seamlessly blend,” he said.

Be sure to check out all the links about for everything said in these article. If you haven't been paying attention to this stuff. You may want to start and begin taking action against this tech being used against your rights and privacy.

Federal Biometric ID Cards Get Iris Scan Option

 http://www.informationweek.com/articles/229401859?cid=RSSfeed_IWK_ALL

Biometric ID cards being developed for federal employees and contractors may include iris scanning in addition to fingerprinting, according to updated specifications released by the federal organization for IT standards.
A new draft of Special Publication 800-76-2 by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) includes a clause that would require the use of iris scanning as biometric identification if a person doesn't have fingerprints or if fingerprinting is problematic, according to the document.

More Insights

For musicians, podcasters, voice over artists, the iRig Microphone is an excellent mobile recording companion for the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad.

The document includes specifications for iris images stored both on and off the personal identity verification (PIV) cards people will use to confirm their identity; for iris capture devices; for the semantic properties of an iris image; for an iris image capture interface; and for an iris recognition interface.
The new draft also includes specifications for an option agencies have to add an algorithm that would provide on-card comparison of fingerprints rather than requiring a personal identification number (PIN) when checking someone's credentials.

Online social networking poses new risks and challenges for IT Management.
Address these risks with 7 simple steps.

The original set-up for the system required a cardholder to enter a PIN number to check card credentials against a card reader. The new draft allows for agencies to choose to include an algorithm on the card that would eliminate the need for PIN entry to check credentials, according to the new draft.

Iris recognition gadget eliminates passwords

http://news.cnet.com/8301-1009_3-20062254-83.html?part=rss&tag=feed&subj=News-Security
Imagine logging in to Facebook or eBay with just a blink of an eye. A new gadget for consumers may soon make that possible.

EyeLock will enable you to log in to a Web site with the blink of an eye.

(Credit: Hoyos Group)

Designed by the Hoyos Group, a device called EyeLock uses iris-recognition as an alternative to passwords to log you in to password-protected Web sites and applications. Although similar eye-scanning devices are already used in the business and industrial markets, Hoyos calls EyeLock "the first and only portable iris-scanning device for consumers."
The scanning device, which resembles a wand, plugs into a base that connects to your PC via a USB port. After you install the software and choose the sites and applications that you want to iris-protect, you pass the scanner in front of your eye. A snapshot is taken of your iris to confirm your identity. Assuming you're the real you, you're then granted immediate access to the secure Web site or application.
With security always a primary concern, the company boasts that the device is unhackable.

Global Biometric Market All Set to Expand During 2011-2014

Image via Wikipediahttp://www.sbwire.com/press-releases/sbwire-85924.htm

With rapid adoption of biometric technology in government organizations and financial institutions, the sector is set to witness a CAGR of around 23% during 2011-2014; says RNCOS.

Noida, UP -- (
SBWIRE
) -- 04/03/2011 -- Demand for biometric systems is growing at a fast pace as many government organizations and financial institutions are adopting this technology across the globe. It is rapidly being used in areas, such as defense, aviation, and criminal and civil identification. A rise in identity thefts and terrorist attacks are the key reasons for the growth in this market. Besides, the systematic replacement of existing passports and adoption and the issue of new e-passports represent an important market for contactless technology.


According to our research report “Global Biometric Forecast to 2012”, global biometric market will grow at CAGR of around 23% during 2011-2014. As the technology continues to improve, the prices continue to decrease and consumers are becoming more accustomed to use it as an efficient way to prove their identity and make secure transactions. Besides, increasing adoption of biometric system across government organizations and financial institutions is fueling the growth in the industry for the past few years.


According to our research, the Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS)/live scan market was estimated to account for the largest chunk of the global biometrics market at the end of 2010 followed by fingerprint and face recognition. Talking about the applications of biometrics, civil ID and criminal ID were estimated to be the top two major applications in 2010 and the same trend is expected to continue in near future as well. This is possibly due to the increasing usage of biometrics in ID cards, passports, PAN cards, etc.

There are advantages and disadvantages of biometric security measures from both a technical and a social perspective.

As of last week, any person arrested and fingerprinted in California will now undergo an automatic immigration check. Biometric security measures are in widespread use, yet many issues are still debated - including privacy concerns. In this article, we are going to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of biometric security measures from both a technical and a social perspective.
California became the ninth state in which each county has activated Secure Communities, a fingerprint data-sharing program between local law enforcement offices and federal immigration enforcement agencies. Other states with complete activation include Texas, West Virginia, Florida, Arizona, Delaware, Virginia, Wisconsin and New Mexico.
Brighthub.com reports that biometric systems are used for identification and authentication, measuring and comparing people’s biological and behavioral properties such as fingerprints and voice, for example. Thus, taking into consideration the definition (*) of biometrics as characteristics, all biometric processes inherently rely on biometric security measures.
Biometric security measures can also be conceived as devices and systems which are designed to make something more secure, for instance a passport, by including a microchip containing data such as the passport owner’s facial, iris and fingerprint biometrics.
Secure Communities
The California Department of Emergency Services defines Secure Communities as a program between U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the Department of Justice that automatically sends name and fingerprint information submitted through a federal file-sharing system, where it’s checked against both the FBI criminal history records and biometrics-based immigration records in the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) Automated Biometric Identification System.
Secure Communities is one more stopgap to learn whether people are being honest about their immigration status,” a sheriff commander in Orange County stated. “Without this, we wouldn’t know that DHS would want to have contact with them; it’s automatic.”

FBI dedicates $1 billion to massive biometrics identification program | The Raw Story

Image via WikipediaGet ready folks. Seems that WE THE PEOPLE no longer have a say in any of this.Criminal background or not. This is invasion of ALL Privacy and should not be in the hands of any Government. Yet here it comes.
Imagine doing no harm or having a bad background. Then a computer glicth hits the system. (Which happens everyday) And your name pops up as a wanted fellon. You go to prision, Why? Because the computer says so. That's what this system is. And again very easliy hacked. Because it is digital. All digital computers are easily hacked.
This is what we call no more Freedom.
http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2011/03/24/fbi-dedicates-1-billion-to-massive-biometrics-identification-program

The Federal Bureau of Investigations announced recently that it is dedicating up to $1 billion for a Lockheed Martin-developed system that will enable on-the-fly analysis of detailed identification information that can be instantaneously shared with law enforcement all around the world.
It's called the "Next Generation Identification System" (NGIS), and if you're a fan of television dramas like the CBS crime drama NCIS, it may sound pretty familiar.
The FBI says their forthcoming system is an "incremental" upgrade to their currently-existing "Integrated Automated Fingerprint Identification System" (IAFIS), but it's more than just an upgrade: it's a revolution in law enforcement technology that's bound to draw comparisons to the "Total Information Awareness" (TIA) project Congress ostensibly shut down in 2004.
The TIA project, however, was broader in scope, targeting private individuals all over the world instead of just suspected criminals or terrorists.
While the initial stage of NGIS deals solely with fingerprints, the FBI said it will eventually upscale to include detailed biometrics like retina prints, facial mapping, palm prints, voice mapping and handwriting analysis, among other likely sources of data.
"[NGIS] represents a quantum leap in fingerprint identification that will help us in solving investigations, preventing crime, and apprehending criminals and terrorists," an agency spokesman announced earlier this month.
One aspect of the program that's likely to draw a sharp reacting from civil liberties advocates is the provision of electronic fingerprint scanners to state and local police agencies.

The FBI says these scanners will be used to collect biometric data from "suspects," as opposed to those convicted of crimes. That data would then be sent wirelessly to the NGIS, where it can be accessed by law enforcement anywhere.
A sub-database, called the "Repository for Individuals of Special Concern," will also be created to track wanted criminals, registered sex offenders and "suspected terrorists."
That's another facet of the project which may give civil liberties advocates even more cause for alarm, considering the Obama administration's recent revisions to how Americans suspected of terrorism should be treated by law enforcement.

New software brings facial-recognition technology to mobile phones | Mail Online

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-1324278/New-software-brings-facial-recognition-technology-mobile-phones.html

Scientists at The University of Manchester have developed software for mobile phones that can track your facial features in real-time. Eventually it will be able to tell who the user is, where they are looking and even how they are feeling.
The method is believed to be unrivalled for speed and accuracy and could lead to facial recognition replacing passwords and PIN numbers to log into internet sites from a mobile phone.
'Existing mobile face trackers give only an approximate position and scale of the face,' said Dr Phil Tresadern, lead researcher on the project.

  "The selection of BIO-key technology for another large-scale fingerprint identity system is further validation of BIO-key's position as one of the premier suppliers of the industry's most accurate and scalable fingerprint matching technology," said Mike DePasquale, BIO-key's CEO. "As I predicted when we announced the first contract awarded for this fused solution, other agencies and commercial customers, looking to take advantage of the research, testing and decision by the FBI may reasonably conclude: 'If it is good enough for the FBI, it's certainly good enough for our organization.'"

Should Immigration Reform Include a National ID? 

10 minutes ago from todaysworld
Since so many have fought and have gotten the Federal Government to Stop Arizona's New Immigration Law. We now get to look forward to the real plan already set up by the Feds. National ID.

We keep hearing about Amnesty. Learn what Amnesty really is. It's Called National ID, Or Real ID, Positive ID. All with your Biometrics. Not sure what that is? It's and RFID computer chip embedded in a card or even under your skin. To keep all your information. Finger prints, Eye scans, Bank information. DNA samples among so much more. This way nobody can be illegal in any way shape or form. Sound like a good Idea. Just keep reading these few posts. Get ready to see how much Freedom you will loose from this, and see how easily it can be hacked into on the next post.

  Watch the Event in QuickTime (M4V)
  Download a Podcast of the Event (MP3) The emerging Senate comprehensive immigration reform is said to include a temporary worker program, a "tough but fair" path to legalization, and enhanced border security. These elements, if well designed, would effectively solve the immigration challenge: enhancing homeland security, reducing the number of unlawful residents, and providing for our economic needs. But should reform also require American workers to have a biometric national ID? What are the implementation issues, how expensive would it be, and would huge government databases of personal information put law-abiding citizens' privacy, identity security, and freedom at risk? Would mission creep ultimately give the federal government unprecedented power over Americans' lives? Please join Cato's Jim Harper and the ACLU's Chris Calabrese for a discussion of the costs and consequences of including a biometric national ID proposal in immigration reform legislation.
  We are at capacity for this event and are unable to accept additional reservations. An archived video will be available on this webpage following the event. Thank you for your interest in our public programs.

  Is a biometric, national ID card an immigration game changer?

  read more on voices.washingtonpost.com
  The Democrats' immigration-reform proposal (pdf) is 26 pages long. Pages 8 through 18 are devoted to "ending illegal employment through biometric employment verification." I don't think the Democrats are going to like me calling this a biometric national ID card, as they go to great lengths to say that it is not a national ID card, and make it "unlawful for any person, corporation; organization local, state, or federal law enforcement officer; local or state government; or any other entity to require or even ask an individual cardholder to produce their social security card for any purpose other than electronic verification of employment eligibility and verification of identity for Social Security Administration purposes."
  But it's still a biometric national ID card. It's handed out by the Social Security Administration and employers are required to check it when hiring new employees. Essentially, if you want to participate in the American economy, you need this card. "Within five (5) years of the date of enactment, the fraud-proof social security card will serve as the sole acceptable document to be produced by an employee to an employer for employment verification purposes," the bill says. "This requirement will exist even if the employer does not yet possess the capability to electronically verify the employee by scanning the card through a card reader."

  Sen. Schumer’s Immigration Reform Is a National ID

  Posted by Jim Harper
  So reports the Wall Street Journal:
  Lawmakers working to craft a new comprehensive immigration bill have settled on a way to prevent employers from hiring illegal immigrants: a national biometric identification card all American workers would eventually be required to obtain.
  It’s the natural evolution of the policy called “internal enforcement” of immigration law, as I wrote in my paper, “Franz Kafka’s Solution to Illegal Immigration.”
  Once in place, watch for this national ID to regulate access to financial services, housing, medical care and prescriptions—and, of course, serve as an internal passport.

  A national identity card for employers to check is at the heart of the new immigration reform legislation being proposed by Senator Chuck Schumer, a Democrat from New York and Senator Lindsay Graham, a Republican from South Carolina.
  
  All legal U.S. workers would be issued with the ID card which would have a biometric identification impossible to duplicate.
  
  Schumer and Graham were due to meet President Obama this week to discuss their immigration reform plan which would also allow those here illegally to stay and gain a path to citizenship. However, Graham's plane flight from South Carolina was canceled and the meeting was postponed.
  
  Schumer says the national identity card is the key to getting a bill passed "It's the nub of solving the immigration dilemma politically speaking," Schumer said in an interview in the Wall Street Journal . The card, he said, would make it impossible for any new illegals to find work. "If you say they can't get a job when they come here, you'll stop it." he stated.would become de facto national ID cards that enable the government to track citizens.
