  • Fingerprinting Passports
    Fingerprinting Passports Henning Richter1, Wojciech Mostowski2 ?, and Erik Poll2 1 Lausitz University of Applied Sciences, Senftenberg, Germany [email protected] 2 Radboud University, Nijmegen, The Netherlands {woj,erikpoll}@cs.ru.nl Abstract. Passports issued nowadays have an embedded RFID chip that carries digitally signed biometric information. Access to this chip is wireless, which introduces a security risk, in that an attacker could access a person’s passport without the owner knowing. While there are measures in place to prevent unauthorised access to the data in the passport, we show that it is easy to remotely detect the presence of a passport and determine its nationality. Although all passports implement the same international stan- dard, experiments with passports from ten different countries show that characteristics of each implementation provide a fingerprint that is unique to passports of a particular country. 1 Introduction Most passports issued nowadays are e-passports, and have an embedded RFID chip – effectively a contactless smartcard – that carries digitally signed biometric information. To prevent wireless reading of the passport content without the owner’s consent, passports can use a mechanism called Basic Access Control (BAC): to access the smartcard one must visually read some information printed in the passport. Sub- sequent communication between passport and reader is then encrypted to prevent eavesdropping. All EU passports implement BAC. Weaknesses in the encryption mechanism used in BAC have already been re- ported [2, 4]: for passports from several countries brute force attacks – which ex- haustively try all keys – are feasible. Root cause of this problem is that passport serial numbers are handed out in sequence, meaning that there is not enough entropy in the keys to prevent brute force attacks.

  • Transgovernmental Networks As a Tool to Combat Terrorism
    TRANSGOVERNMENTAL NETWORKS AS A TOOL TO COMBAT TERRORISM: HOW ICE ATTACHÉS OPERATE OVESEAS TO COMBAT TERRORIST TRAVEL By KEITH COZINE A Dissertation submitted to the Graduate School-Newark Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Global Affairs written under the direction of Dr. Norman Samuels Ph.D: Professor and Provost Emeritus and approved by Newark, New Jersey January 2010 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION TRANSGOVERNMENTAL NETWORKS AS A TOOL TO COMBAT TERRORISM: HOW ICE ATTACHÉS OPERATE OVESEAS TO COMBAT TERRORIST TRAVEL By KEITH COZINE Dissertation Director: Dr. Norman Samuels Ph.D.: Professor and Provost Emeritus Globalization has led to a shift in the perceived threat to security from states to trans- border issues such as financial collapse, global warming, pandemics and threats from a variety of non-state actors. As a result of the terrorist attacks on New York, Bali, Madrid, London and Mumbai; international terrorism has become one of the most highly visible of these new threats. One mechanism of global governance employed to combat this threat is the use of transgovernmental networks comprised of government officials from various nations, forming both formal and informal global networks that reach out to their foreign counterparts. These networks are the foundation of a strategy of confronting “networks of terror with networks against terror.” This research seeks to understand how these networks operate to achieve their mission. The literature relating to transgovernmental networks and transnational advocacy networks (TANs) suggests that these two network types share numerous characteristics. These similarities led to the development of the hypothesis that transgovernmental networks operate to accomplish their missions in much the same way as TANs operate.

    1. Then, in December 1998, it was madness in my country. The only way to get out was to get a ticket to some Third World country, and then stop by and ask for asylum if you were ready for it. So I got a ticket to Kenya, because you don’t need a visa. But I had to buy a return ticket. Mostly people would go to some Western European country and then just ask for asylum at the airport. But I decided as I bought the ticket, to go for a holiday in Kenya and see Africa, because I hadn’t been there. So I had a nice holiday, seven or eight days, and then came back to Amsterdam. Well I hadn’t made a decision about whether I was going to ask for asylum or not. I just stayed for nearly a day at the airport, went for a few drinks, had a few meals and slept in a few places, and the police noticed that. So they just arrested me in the middle of the airport, thinking that I was a suspicious kind of person. They were really nice, that surprised me. They put me in a kind of detention for about five days. They took us to a hotel in Nordwick, by the sea… Nice accommodation. They gave us a meal every day, some money… And I was asking, “What’s going on? It’s heaven… I’m going to ask this a few times”. But you know… 2. Afterwards they moved us to the Refugee Centre in Laiden and that was really shit.
