Financial Transactions and Personal Data Security - Is Your Customers#$# Data Safe? | 2009-10-01 | Grant Thornton International |
| The risk associated with collecting and holding individual personal data for a Money Service Business (MSB) is both very real and very serious. In 2007, a major Canadian bank lost a computer backup file that contained individual personal data of 470,000 of its customers.3 In 2008, Statistics Canada confirmed that a theft of completed census questionnaires had occurred.4 And as recently as August 2009, the US Justice Department charged three men in connection with orchestrating the theft of over 130 million credit and debit card numbers.5 These examples - and many more like them - have sounded the warning bell to other organizations that customer privacy is not to be taken lightly.

An Enhanced Security Protocol for Fast Mobile IPv6 | 2009-10-01 | Institute of Electronics, Information and Communication Engineers |
| Off late, Kempf and Koodli have proposed a security protocol for Fast Mobile IPv6 (FMIPv6). Through the SEcure Neighbor Discovery (SEND) protocol, it achieves secure distribution of a handover key, and consequently becomes a security standard for FMIPv6. However, it is still vulnerable to redirection attacks. In addition, due to the SEND protocol, it suffers from denial of service attacks and expensive computational cost. This paper presents a security protocol, which enhances Kempf-Koodli's one with the help of the AAA infrastructure.
