Id Supplies

When we last visited the issue of municipal ID cards , the City Council agreed to endorse the idea , but asked staff to come back with a report explaining our options for creating a municipal ID card program that wouldn’t cost the City any money before they actually started issuing them. I know what you’re thinking. Good luck with that , right? Well, the report came back to the Finance & Management Committee last week, and, unsurprisingly, it found (PDF) that we can’t issue secur

CDT testified Wednesday before the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs hearing on reevaluating the REAL ID Act. CDT testified in support of the PASS ID Act, noting that it mitigates or corrects critical privacy and security flaws introduced by REAL ID, while still establishing minimum federal standards for the issuance of driver's licenses and ID cards. While the PASS ID Act does not address all flaws in the REAL ID program, merely repealing REAL ID does not address

London Guardian In India , Big Brother just wants to help.

Herrman calls this Case-Mate iPhone 3G/3GS case "high stakes iPhoning", and he's right. This is saying to potential muggers, "I'm going all in. If you want it all, just take my phone." There's no denying the convenience of putting all your stuff into one device when you want to travel light. Potential ID-flinging when you take the phone out of your pocket aside, it's definitely an interesting idea, and a physical interpretation of the "smart phone" that keeps all your payment and identification

(ChattahBox)—A disturbing and heart wrenching video capturing the death of the sweet-faced Iranian protester Neda Soltan, who had just been shot in the chest by a soldier of the pro-government militia, became a symbol for the brutality and corruption of the regime of President Ahmadinejad. And now the identity of her killer has been revealed, as a Basij militiaman, named Abbas Kargar Javid, after images of his ID cards were posted on the Internet. As the 27-year-old aspiring musician, Neda S

The Times Online reports:The man accused of killing Neda Soltan has been identified as Abbas Kargar Javid, a pro-government militiaman, after photographs of the Basiji's ID cards appeared on the internet. The identification challenges the Iranian regime's claim that foreign agents shot the young woman, w

The new UK ID card’s security was easily broken by a computer expert hired the Daily Mail UK. The expert, Adam Laurie, had “one of 51,000 ID cards issued by the Home Office to foreign nationals currently working or studying in Britain.” This is similar to the ID card for UK citizens that will be released later this year.Embedded inside the card for foreigners is a microchip with the details of its bearer held in electronic form: name, date of birth, physical characteristics, fingerprints and so

– as ID cards production delayed A delay in the start of national identification (ID) card production has put plans to run off belated local government elections this year in doubt. Stabroek News has been informed that the contract with De La Rue, the commercial security printer and papermaker, to produce identity cards was signed last month and the production of cards is not expected to begin until early to mid October, just over a month before the scheduled deadline for the polls. The G

Today, I caught a small portion of a Congressional hearing dealing with the possible creation of a standard form of identification for all Americans. As I watched some people were repeating the tired, old arguments that mandating a standard form of identification is unfair to minorities and poor people. And, of course, one person suggested using driver’s licenses as our nation’s standard form of identification. In some ways, we are already doing that—and look how well that is working. Driver’s l

Tech.view: Have chip, will travel : Via The Economist. A MONTH of tramping around Europe has given your correspondent a chance to see how effective the new e-passports are at border crossings. Between them, his family holds American, Japanese and British passports, each recently renewed. Unlike previous ones, the e-passports contain biometric data embedded in a radio-frequency identification (RFID) chip, along with the usual mugshot and optical bar-code. Although all new passports conform, m

The rollout of the ID card scheme will be accelerated on a voluntary basis for UK citizens, starting in Greater Manchester by the end of the year.

Residents in other locations in the North West of England will be able to apply from early 2010, while the government’s intention is to roll out the scheme in London in the same year - 12 months early.

Some 3,500 UK citizens have already applied for the cards.

But the Tories - who say they will scrap the scheme if they win the next general election - have written to five firms bidding to supply ID cards warning them not to sign any long-term contracts.

absolutely not.
3500 wow that is all of 0.005% (approx) of the population. Real big take up isn’t it.

It is surely the biggest Big Brother project yet conceived. India is to issue each of its 1.2 billion citizens, millions of whom live in remote villages and possess no documentary proof of existence, with cyber-age biometric identity cards. The Government in Delhi recently created the Unique Identification Authority, a new state department charged with the task of assigning every living Indian an exclusive number. It will also be responsible for gathering and electronically storing the
