Two reports lagging the attack on tamperproof devices
post last night from the Info Sec Group of NUS (which
we've put at: http://jya.com/isghak.htm):
10-22-96. Reu:
"Singapore scientists invent secure Internet system"
The new system, developed by the NUS team in
collaboration with several banks for Singapore at a cost of
Singapore $500,000 (US$355,000), used smartcard technology
which allowed the transmission of hidden digital signatures.
Sponsors of the new system include Singapore's four large banks
-- Development Bank of Singapore, Oversea-Chinese Banking
Corp Ltd, Overseas Union Bank Ltd, United Overseas Bank Ltd
-- as well as Singapore Telecommunications Ltd and Citicorp's
Citibank.
10-22-96. PrNe:
Biometric Technology Firm Refutes Reports of Vulnerability
to Smart Card
A biometric facial recognition protects smart cards from tampering
by denying access even if digital codes are obtained. According
to the company's president, recent reports from U.S. and Israeli
researchers on ways to crack encryption codes are needlessly
alarming security managers in government and industry.
