This paper discusses the UK governments plans to build a biometric database of the whole population. It outlines the technology behind biometrics, including face recognition, iris prints, and fingerprints. It explains that biometric representations are soon to be a feature of newly issued passports, perhaps driving licences, and that national ID cards are being put forward as a practical proposition. - Author(s): A.

Finally, after a number of false starts and much scepticism from the telecommunications establishment, voice over IP (VoIP) services are finally starting to take off in many countries around the world. However, as the VoIP wave begins to swell, with significant amounts of traffic migrating from traditional public networks onto this new technology, questions about its security and reliability are starting to arise, both from users and governments. This article first examines the various VoIP services available and then outlines the security threats to them along with measures to counteract there threats. - Author(s): B. Bowers

This article traces the evolution of vacuum tubes (thermionic valves) from their origins in incandescent filament lamps. It details the use of diodes and triodes in early radio transmission and detection, being the building blocks of rectifiers, amplifiers and oscillators. It also mentions the later developments of tetrodes and pentodes and concludes that the end of the vacuum tube era began with the introduction of the point contact transistor. - Author(s): C. Edwards

There is no doubt that the migration of Ethernet from the office domain down onto the plant floor is gathering momentum. Now we are moving towards a scenario where, as well as carrying data, Industrial Ethernet can carry the control information, creating a networking backbone for demanding real-time control applications and safety systems. This article emphasises the fact that increased reliance on Ethernet on the plant floor opens up new security risks, and the protection of sensitive automation networks has become of paramount importance. It states that this is now recognised by automation vendors and automation users alike and, in response to demand, real security solutions are coming to the fore. - Source: IEE Review, Volume 50, Issue 11, page: 54 –54
