Passport Canada's facial-recognition project, in the works for three years, is one of the first large-scale federal forays into biometrics, technology that uses measurable characteristics, such facial images, to confirm people's identities.

Winnipeg's Inn at the Forks is among a growing number of hotels that no longer employ conventional, hang-'em-on-your-doorknob-style Do Not Disturb signs. Instead, the local establishment relies on something called Occupancy Status Indicators to thwart cleaning staff. OSIs are interface panels fastened to exterior hotel room doors. A light display specifies lodgers' wishes: Green for "enter," red for "come back later, things are just getting good. To prove his point, [Flores] has created a website to show off his lot. Some of his more creative come-bys hail from Las Vegas's Hard Rock Hotel ("I hear you knockin' but you can't come in"), Manhattan's Le Parker Meridien ("Fuhgettaboudit") and Estonia's Saku Rock Hotel ("Piss off!"). "I read somewhere that the (latter) hotel was a favourite ...

Government biometric projects can be a target for criticism from several directions. Do biometrics actually work in large-scale applications? Will people's privacy be respected? On each of these points, Passport Canada may well avoid the "Great Biometric Controversy" of 2003, when Immigration Minister Denis Coderre called for a debate about a national ID card. He got one. At a Commons committee hearing, acting Privacy Commissioner Robert Marleau said the cost of equipment alone for a national ID card program would be somewhere between $3 and $5 billion, and the governments track record of cost overruns and delays with such programs as the firearms registry and other computer systems "should serve as an additional warning of the potentially exorbitant cost of issuing a national ID card t...

The concept of controlling who may access data and what they can do with it is not new. That was always the case with mainframe computers. Not everyone with access to a specific mainframe application could access other programs. For example, if you were an inventory control clerk, you wouldn't be able to get into the payroll system. If you were the payroll clerk, you would be restricted to certain functions and changing your own salary likely wasn't one of them. When we went from mainframes to PCs many of these controls were lost. With today's networked world and the value of data, it is time to re-introduce them. Mary Dixon, deputy director of the Defense Manpower Data Center points out that the card is only one component of identity management. A benefit of the new ID cards is that ea...
