Canada's ISPs may get 'spy' role The right to be anonymous online may be
strongly affected by new proposals to build a database of every Canadian
with an email address.  The Canadian government is considering a
proposal that would force Internet providers to rewire their networks
for easy surveillance by police and spy agencies.

First test of 'Net Decoy' system shows promise The airmen of the 100th
Communications Squadron here hosted the first-ever demonstration of the
pioneering "Net Decoy" system, combining two defensive information
systems that detect, track and potentially identify cyberspace
intruders.  During the latter part of August the Air Force Information
Warfare Battlelab, Lackland Air Force Base, Texas, has worked with
members from the 100th CS and a team of Air Force computer experts from
the 92nd Information Warfare Aggressor Squadron, also at Lackland, "to
demonstrate the military value of creating virtual networks (false
computer units) designed to decoy attacks and exploits," said Capt. 
Robert Anderson, project officer for the AFIWB initiative.

Electronic identity theft soars Insurers cash in on latest threat.  As
identity theft continues to rise, some insurance companies are eager to
establish a small but growing niche market to help cover expenses to
restore the victims' credit.  Identity theft can be carried out in a
variety of ways, from computer hackers stealing credit card information
online to criminals stealing driving licence numbers and ATM cards to
impersonate their victims.  http://www.vnunet.com/News/1134646

Cisco launches integrated security hardware IT departments that handle
networking and security separately may come into conflict over who
controls the switches in Cisco's latest hardware.  Cisco on Tuesday
announced hardware intended to safeguard networks at a lower cost, but
it could lead to infighting in IT departments.

PGP is back! Phil Zimmermann's PGP is back in the hands of an
independent company, after Network Associates agreed to sell the
technology it mothballed back in March to a start-up specially created
to market PGP.  Jon Callas, the former PGP chief scientist, becomes the
CTO of the new company, PGP Corporation.  Will Price, former Director of
Engineering at NAI, becomes VP of engineering.

Personal remote control: Security disaster Combine easy access to the
Internet, ubiquitous Web browsers, the common use of home computers, and
the natural demand of users to access their files from home, and the
stage is set for the effective marketing of a new class of Web-based
remote control tools.  These tools bring back an "old problem" --that
is, the security risks of personal remote control.  Enterprises should
define policy and implement security controls to ensure that serious
security vulnerabilities are avoided.
