Bruce Schneier Home Blog Crypto-Gram Newsletter Books ... Contact Information Schneier on Security A blog covering security and security technology. Main January 11, 2005 Fingerprinting Students A nascent security trend in the U.S. is tracking schoolchildren when they get on and off school buses. Hoping to prevent the loss of a child through kidnapping or more innocent circumstances, a few schools have begun monitoring student arrivals and departures using technology similar to that used to track livestock and pallets of retail shipments. A school district in Spring, Texas, is using computerized ID badges to record this information, and wirelessly sending it to police headquarters. Another school district, in Phoenix, is doing the same thing with fingerprint readers. The system is supposed to help prevent the loss of a child, whether through kidnapping or accident. What’s going on here? Have these people lost their minds? Tracking kids as they get on and off school buses is a ridiculous idea. It’s expensive, invasive, and doesn’t increase security very much. Security is always a trade-off. In

Phenyx v2.5 is now available – try it today! IonSource.Com Peptide-Mass Fingerprinting Introduction: Peptide Mass Fingerprinting (PMF) is a technique used to identify proteins by matching their constituent fragment masses (peptide masses) to the theoretical peptide masses generated from a protein or DNA database. The first step in PMF is that an intact, unknown protein is cleaved with a proteolytic enzyme to generate peptides. With PMF, heterogeneity is most commonly imparted to the unknown protein with a trypsin digestion. A PMF database search is usually employed following MALDI TOF mass analysis. The premise of peptide mass finger printing is that every unique protein will have a unique set of peptides and hence unique peptide masses. Identification is accomplished by matching the observed peptide masses to the theoretical masses derived from a sequence database. PMF identification relies on observing a large number of peptides, 5 +, from the same protein at high mass accuracy. This technique does well with 2D gel spots where the protein purity is high. PMF protein identification can run into difficulties with complex mixtures of proteins. Low level ID also becomes difficult due to commonplace contamination by keratin.

Selected by SciLinks Topics Introduction The Structure of DNA Making DNA Fingerprints Uses of DNA Fingerprints ... Topics Introduction Like the fingerprints that came into use by detectives and police labs during the 1930s, each person has a unique DNA fingerprint ( Figure 1 ). Unlike a conventional fingerprint that occurs only on the fingertips and can be altered by surgery, a DNA fingerprint is the same for every cell, tissue, and organ of a person. It cannot be altered by any known treatment. Consequently, DNA fingerprinting is rapidly becoming the primary method for identifying and distinguishing among individual human beings. An additional benefit of DNA fingerprint technology is the diagnosis of inherited disorders in adults, children, and unborn babies. Even bloodstained clothing from Abraham Lincoln has been analyzed for evidence of a genetic disorder called Marfan's Syndrome. Topics The Structure of DNA The characteristics of all living organisms, including humans, are essentially determined by information contained within DNA that they inherit from their parents. The molecular structure of DNA can be imagined as a zipper with each tooth represented by one of four letters (

the new p0f: 2.0.8 (2006-09-06) lcamtuf@coredump.cx What is p0f v2? P0f v2 is a versatile passive OS fingerprinting tool. P0f can identify the operating system on: - machines that connect to your box (SYN mode), - machines you connect to (SYN+ACK mode), - machine you cannot connect to (RST+ mode), - machines whose communications you can observe. P0f can also do many other tricks, and can detect or measure the following: - firewall presence, NAT use (useful for policy enforcement), - existence of a load balancer setup, - the distance to the remote system and its uptime, - other guy's network hookup (DSL, OC3, avian carriers) and his ISP. All this even when the device in question is behind an overzealous packet firewall, when our favourite active scanner can't do much. P0f does not generate ANY additional network traffic, direct or indirect. No name lookups, no mysterious probes, no ARIN queries, nothing. How? It's simple: magic.

See also: Food Agriculture and Food Reference Herbal tea ... Cereal Gulab Jham and colleagues point out that such adulteration of Brazilian coffee is among the most serious problems affecting coffee quality with cereal grains, coffee twigs, and brown sugar sometimes mixed into the genuine article. Their research focuses on detecting corn, probably the most widely used adulterant. The study describes development and use on six popular coffee brands of a method for analyzing one form of vitamin E in Brazilian coffee. Because roasted corn samples have high concentrations of vitamin E, it serves as a fingerprint for adulteration with corn. In laboratory tests they found that one brand of Brazilian coffee contained almost 9 percent corn. Although noting that their results are preliminary, the scientists say their new method appears to be "a significant improvement" over existing tests to detect corn adulteration.

The pilot program involves taking electronic fingerprints of people picked up on boats between the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico and instantly comparing them to prints in a digital database of suspects who have been deported or have criminal records, USA Today reported. Civil right advocates say they have some concerns about people who aren't under arrest being fingerprinted en masse; however the Coast Guard says the number of immigrants picked up in the region has declined significantly since the program was launched from around 3,000 in 2006 to less than 1,500 last year. Tom Amerson, a Coast Guard researcher who came up with the idea, said the program acts as a deterrent to unsavory characters thinking about entering Puerto Rico illegally.

Exhibition Images Cases Return to Cases Image 1 of 5 Juan Vucetich and the origins of forensic fingerprinting In 1892, two boys were brutally murdered in the village of Necochea, near Buenos Aires, Argentina. Initially, suspicion fell on a man named Velasquez, a suitor of the children's mother, Francisca Rojas. But even after torture, the police could not get him to confess. Investigators found a bloody fingerprint at the crime scene and contacted Juan Vucetich, who was developing a system of fingerprint identification for police use. Vucetich compared the fingerprints of Rojas and Velasquez with the bloody fingerprint. Francisca Rojas had denied touching the bloody bodies, but the fingerprint matched one of hers. Confronted with the evidence, she confessed—the first successful use of fingerprint identification in a murder investigation. After the Rojas case, Vucetich improved his fingerprint system, which he called "comparative dactyloscopy." Adopted by the province of Buenos Aires in 1903, it spread rapidly throughout the Spanish-speaking world.

The prints will be stored on a database which could be shared with countries around the world. The prospect has alarmed civil liberties groups who fear it represents a 'sea change' in the state's relationship with children and one that may lead to juveniles being erroneously accused of crimes. Under laws being drawn up behind closed doors by the European Commission's 'Article Six' committee, which is composed of representatives of the European Union's 25 member states, all children will have to attend a finger-printing centre to obtain an EU passport by June 2009 at the latest. The use of fingerprints and other biometric data is designed to prevent passport fraud and allow European member states to meet US entry visa requirements, but the decision to fingerprint children has disturbed human rights groups.

StumbleUpon Del.icio.us ttWriteMboxDiv('searchSecurity_Definition_Body'); ttWriteMboxContent('searchSecurity_Definition_Body'); - Brain fingerprinting is a controversial technique that is advocated as a way to identify a terrorist or other dangerous person by measuring the "brainprint" of that person when shown a particular body of writing or an image that was previously familiar (such as of a training camp or manual). The brainprint is based on the P300 complex, a series of well-known brainwave components that can be measured. The technique is said to be more effective than a lie detector test. The inventor of the technique, Dr. Lawrence Farwell, has used the technique in at least one court case to determine the innocence of a man convicted of murder and the guilt of his accuser. Farwell showed each person pictures of the crime scene and measured their brainwave responses to determine which person had seen the crime scene before. Claiming that the test is 99.99% infallible, Falwell's test convinced the court to free the convicted person. The real perpetrator pleaded guilty. In the test, the subject is fitted with a patented headband equipped with sensors and shown a series of relevant words or pictures on a computer screen. When the brain recognizes something familiar, the brain elicits a wavelike response known as a MERMER (memory and encoding-related multifaceted electroencephalographic response). The MERMER in turn contains the brain response known as a P300. The test can be done in as little as 10 minutes.

If we could know that, it would be so much easier to sell our Sendmail-compatible product." For those of us who understand the SMTP protocol, the answer was, of course, a resounding "Yes." Most mail servers announce their identity when you connect to them on TCP port 25. The dev team decided that this was a summer science project they just had to get on top of.

FYI: Science Policy News Bulletin Number 560 October 9, 2001 by Phil Schewe, James Riordon, and Ben Stein Quantum Fingerprinting Imagine two offices, located halfway around the world, and their headquarters wants to make sure that they each have the identical copy of a database. Imagine further that the databases are huge10 bits each. They could transmit the database to the headquarters, and the headquarters could compare them. But transmitting 10 bitsequal to about 11 billion gigabytes-would take an enormous amount of time. There is a method in which they only need to send 10 bitsa little over a gigabyteand the headquarters still gets enough information to determine that they have the exact same database. This method is called "classical fingerprinting." The idea is that each office independently, without communicating to each other, generates a distinctive number, called a fingerprint, by performing a calculation involving the entire database and locally generated random numbers, called keys. The result of the calculation-a fingerprint of 10 bitsis then sent to the headquarters.
