Tighter regulation and higher levels of cyber attacks will increase the role of the CSO in 2004. Marcia Savage reports Biometrics is a security approach that offers great promise, but also presents users and implementers with a number of practical problems. Security, physical, cyber, and otherwise, is on everyone’s mind these days. As a former police officer, it was driven into me during my formative years as an investigator that every facet of every case had to be prepared with the utmost diligence. In the summer of 2003 a new email virus hit the front pages of the newspapers worldwide.

One-factor authentication (user IDs and password) is still the most widely used method, primarily because it is simple, easy and there are no pieces of hardware to configure. But there are many applications where this is just not secure enough. In two-factor authentication, not only do users need to know a PIN but they also need to possess the correct token. This higher level of security, combined with the token's memory and cryptographic processing capabilities, makes it particularly attractive as a solution for many situations such as digitally signing documents and mails and authenticating the user remotely for access to corporate networks through VPNs.

In today's world of CD-ROMs and high-capacity DVDs, it is easy to forget that there are other storage media which still have considerable popularity. One frequently overlooked example of this is the humble tape, which is still vital for many businesses. 
Modern tapes have extremely high capacities, and developments in fiber channel mean that recording speeds are incredibly fast. However, there is an inherent security risk – after the tape has been recorded, when the data becomes portable, and therefore at risk. This is increased if you send the tapes off site to a firestore. How can you be certain that the courier isn't simply going to vanish with your confidential client records?

The Schlumberger DeXa.Badge is not so much a single product, more of a secure identity philosophy. Potential use of the associated chip cards could range from simple intranet/internet secure login, to a full blown certificate-based enterprise deployment for local and remote access, physical access control and other related applications.

The Aladdin eToken is a small, lightweight, attractive USB device, about the size of a physical key, which can generate and store user credentials such as private keys, passwords and digital certificates within its own protected chip environment.

Chip and PIN is on the minds of IT managers looking for EMV certification, finance directors seeking protection from credit card fraud, and store managers wanting to speed up the transaction process to reduce queuing times.
