Biometric passports are the emergent identity travel document deployed in guaranteeing the safekeeping of the entry point of the border and limiting the usage of counterfeit documents. This study analyzes users’ concerns and threats to the biometric passport delivery system in Uganda, where the first biometric passports are planned for rollout in 2019. We used a mixed approach to compute and articulate the results. Factors impacting fear of technology like disclosure of personal data, improper data transmission, and data abuse were determined. Relevance knowledge of preferred technology such as the personal experience of the technology, data privacy awareness and perceived usefulness was confirmed. Threats and attacks on the technology such as counterfeit and brute-force were identified. It is important for policymakers and security expertise to understand that biometric technologies evoke fears of privacy and public liberties infringements.

  • Subscription Television Piracy Sandvine Global Internet Phenomena Spotlight GLOBAL INTERNET PHENOMENACASE SPOTLIGHT STUDY
    Subscription Television Piracy Sandvine Global Internet Phenomena Spotlight GLOBAL INTERNET PHENOMENACASE SPOTLIGHT STUDY Introduction By producing or licensing TV, film, sports, and other premium content, network operators aim to create content libraries that increase the appeal of bundled offers (e.g., triple and quad play services), stand out from the competition, and provide exclusive value to their subscribers, all of which contribute to top-line revenue. For some operators, the video strategy is to deliver TV and video-on-demand (VOD) services exclusively via an app. Television content can be pirated in many ways. BitTorrent can be used to share files with peers, the media player app Kodi can be modified with unofficial add-ons, and even websites can host files that subscribers can easily stream in a browser. A new emergent form of subscription television piracy, that aims to replicate the live television experience offered by cable and satellite providers is seeing increased adoption in developed markets. Left unchecked, we expect this live television piracy trend to grow both due to the ease and relatively low cost of accessing unlicensed content and due to the facilities available on the internet for pirates to leverage. The risk to operators is enormous: continued adoption of pirate TV streaming services could lead to increased cordcutting, significantly impacting top-line revenue, overall profitability, and - by extension - undermining an important aspect of the business model of operators. IDENTIFYING SUBSCRIPTION TELEVISION PIRACY To better understand the problem of live television piracy services, Sandvine worked with several North American fixed access operators to research the adoption of subscription television piracy services on their networks.

  • Tackling Counterfeit with ISO and IEC Standards
    counterfeit Tackling counterfeit with IEC and ISO standards Tackling counterfeit with IEC and ISO standards In Roman times it was wine, in mediaeval times it was textiles and weapons, today it is everything from personal computers to potency pills. Counterfeit goods are nothing new, but with globalization, the Internet and increased movement of goods, the fakes business is booming. The global value of counterfeit goods was estimated as being worth between USD 923 billion and USD 1.13 trillion in 2016 alone 1), costing millions of jobs and funding further abuses such as corruption and violence. Counterfeit affects virtually every country in the world, fuels illegal activities and harms you and your family. Aircraft, automotive parts, medicines, toys, electronic equipment, clothing and foodstuffs are just some of the products tarnished by the counterfeit industry. IEC and ISO have dedicated committees working on standards and solutions to help combat counterfeit and provide increased confidence to consumers. These include standards that test for authenticity, provide guidelines to measure the competency of testing laboratories and provide quality and minimum safety guidelines. For electric and electronic goods, the IEC offers testing and certifica- tion services that assist in quality and supply chain management, ensuring that suppliers deliver authentic parts and end products are safe to use. 1) Global Financial Integrity Tackling counterfeit with IEC and ISO standards – 1 What exactly are counterfeit goods ? The World Trade Organization (WTO) defines product counterfeiting as the “ unauthorized representation of a registered trademark carried on goods identical or similar to goods for which the trademark is registered, with a view to deceiving the purchaser into believing that he/she is buying the origi- nal goods ”.
