A recent Cabinet Office report claimed that 96% of central government services will be provided online by the end of 2005. However, Government networks are susceptible to the same type of security risks as business networks, and therefore there is a risk attached. The core issue is the question of identity, and the differing levels of authentication required depending on the service. "What would make it easier for citizens to take up the service is if they had a single identity" says Neil.Tue, 26 Jul 2005 16:18:29 GMT7/26/2005 4:18:29 PM7/26/2005 4:18:29 PMinfo@chyp.com (Consult Hyperion Web Site)Consult Hyperion Web Siteinfo@chyp.compresscoverage200truehttp://www.chyp.com/consulthyperion_feed_library.aspx7/29/2010 12:00:00 AMNeil Garner, a Director of Consult Hyperion, is quoted in an article in Financial World in June 2005 discussing how Chip and PIN smartcards have helped financial services organisations tackle fraud, increase customer loyalty and increase cross-selling opportunities.

The article describes how the system could be compromised by fraudsters, and that criminal gangs will already be looking for ways to exploit the national ID card or its database. "It's only really a problem when a vulnerable physical component - such as the cards themselves, the readers of public kiosks - crosses with important information. The best way of dealing with this is that the proposed register should contain as little information on people as possible" says John. The article goes on to say that Britain's proposed system is likely to be the largest biometric database in existence. "There's never been a biometric register of this size" says John.

The point being made on the TV programme was that by deactivating the chip, it made the card easy to clone and to use it both at the POS and the ATM for fraudulent transactions. Stuart said the programme did not highlight any risks that the banks were not already aware of, and that it was inevitable that during migration to chip and PIN there would be a situation where the card would 'fall back' to a mag-stripe transaction if there was a technology issue.Fri, 20 May 2005 15:52:05 GMT5/20/2005 3:52:05 PM5/20/2005 3:52:05 PMinfo@chyp.com (Consult Hyperion Web Site)Consult Hyperion Web Siteinfo@chyp.compresscoverage192truehttp://www.chyp.com/consulthyperion_feed_library.aspx7/29/2010 12:00:00 AMNeil Garner, a Director of Consult Hyperion, is quoted in an article in The Times online discussing e-voting, and the possibility that this year's general election was the last time we have to walk into a polling station to cast our vote.

On the one hand, consumers who have been accustomed to signing for credit card purchases at retail locations and only using a PIN when withdrawing cash at an ATM now have to remember the PINs for all of their credit cards. At the same time, merchants and their employees have to learn the chip and PIN rules. "There is a significant number of credit card holders, around 10%, who are refusing to use their PINs and insist on signing for purchases" says Pickup. "Cardholders may have quite a number of credit cards and can't be bothered to learn their PINs for each card." Pickup argues that the banks' solution to the problem of PIN management is not sufficiently flexible. "People should have been given more options for changing their PINs than an ATM - for example over the phone or the Net."Fri, 20 May 2005 15:50:37 GMT5/20/2005 3:50:37 PM5/20/2005 3:50:37 PMinfo@chyp.com (Consult Hyperion Web Site)Consult Hyperion Web Siteinfo@chyp.compresscoverage190truehttp://www.chyp.com/consulthyperion_feed_library.aspx7/29/2010 12:00:00 AMColin Tanner, a Senior Consultant at Consult Hyperion, is quoted in an article in the April edition of Card Technology regarding the announcement by MasterCard International and Visa International that they will use a common communications protocol for contactless payment cards and other devices that consumers wave or tap on readers.

'Phishers fool consumers into divulging sensitive information by creating the misconception that the information has been legitimately requested by an organisation that they trust. "Passwords alone are not enough to defeat the fraudsters" says Birch. A solution to this is 'token authentication', whereby consumers have a small, pocket calculator-like device into which they put their card and enter their PIN. The device then displays a unique code number that must be entered into the web page in order to access the site. In this scenario the bank or retailer will therefore know that the customer is in possession of the card, and that the correct PIN has been entered.Fri, 20 May 2005 15:43:55 GMT5/20/2005 3:43:55 PM5/20/2005 3:43:55 PMinfo@chyp.com (Consult Hyperion Web Site)Consult Hyperion Web Siteinfo@chyp.compresscoverage184truehttp://www.chyp.com/consulthyperion_feed_library.aspx7/29/2010 12:00:00 AMNeil Garner, a Director of Consult Hyperion, is quoted in an article in the Spring 2005 edition of Surrey Business News regarding Consult Hyperion's work with BSkyB to develop a smartcard which will personalise interactive TV services.

"Contactless payment technology allows communication between two devices without physical contact. This results in far greater communication speeds that the familiar contact smart cards used for chip and PIN. In practice this means that a card needs to be touched against or placed within a few centimetres of the reader for transactions to be completed in a few hundred milliseconds. A further benefit of these contactless payment technologies is that they allow different card forms to be used, for example key fobs, or mobile phone jackets. So, why didn't we go for contactless technology instead of chip and PIN? Contactless is still a maturing technology and does not typically work with PIN and hence is more suitable for lower value, fast throughput, low risk transactions. Contactless is more suitable as a replacement for cash, potentially leveraging chip and PIN investment as it re-uses a lot of existing infrastructure.Mon, 28 Feb 2005 17:22:14 GMT2/28/2005 5:22:14 PM2/28/2005 5:22:14 PMinfo@chyp.com (Consult Hyperion Web Site)Consult Hyperion Web Siteinfo@chyp.compresscoverage171truehttp://www.chyp.com/consulthyperion_feed_library.aspx7/29/2010 12:00:00 AMhttp://prospectmagazine.co.uk/article_details.php?id=6743Dave Birch, a Director of Consult Hyperion, contributed a special report to the March 2005 edition of Prospect magazine regarding the national identity card scheme currently under discussion.

The article describes how the New York Times has revealed that graduate students from the Johns Hopkins University of Baltimore have cracked the security in a certain type of contactless chip. However, the chip used for MasterCard's PayPass and American Express' ExpressPay differs in several respects from this chip. "Technically there's no implication whatsoever" Tanner says. "What MasterCard, American Express and Visa have been doing is designing systems based on triple-DES. Those systems are going to be very secure."Tue, 15 Feb 2005 09:28:28 GMT2/15/2005 9:28:28 AM2/15/2005 9:28:28 AMinfo@chyp.com (Consult Hyperion Web Site)Consult Hyperion Web Siteinfo@chyp.compresscoverage167truehttp://www.chyp.com/consulthyperion_feed_library.aspx7/29/2010 12:00:00 AMAnthony Pickup, Senior Consultant at Consult Hyperion, is quoted in the December-January edition of Retail Systems in an article discussing the effects of Chip and PIN implementation for retailers. For retailers of all sizes chip and PIN put the spotlight on not only their front end technology, but also their back-end processing systems. It has presented a bigger challenge than initially presented. "It has been a big wake-up call to both solutions providers and retailers" says Pickup. However, there are now new transaction types on the horizon making use of these new technologies. Anthony suggests that self-service, mobile payments, gift cards and kiosks will become widespread in retail environments within the next few years. Retailers must, therefore, prepare now.

A committee of the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) has now issued a set of core requirements for contactless chip and reader manufacturers in an attempt to combat these interoperability problems. Recent tests showed problems were arising with obtaining data from the chip-based passports. Part of the problem appears to stem from the differences between the 2 options allowed in the international contactless smart card standard, ISO 14443. The inconsistencies came as no surprise to Stuart, who says that the standard is "immature". "It is common for different vendors to make differing decisions, which all conform to the standards, but are consistent with each other".

SIM vendors have been working to give the SIM a contactless interface, either attached to the card itself or linked to a separate contactless chip and antenna embedded in the handset. Card vendors and their major customers, the operators, are concerned that without some kind of contactless interface, the SIM card could be completely bypassed by handset makers and other mobile commerce players as they deliver contactless payment, ticketing and other applications. However, banks and other third parties may choose not to put their applications on the SIM. Trials planned by MasterCard and Visa have opted to use a special secure smart card chip embedded in the handset. Colin Tanner "doubts that financial institutions would want to use the SIM to secure their applications on an NFC handset".

The article discusses how the government plans to collect biometric data from applicants - possibly fingerprints and an iris scan, as well as taking a photo, but no decision has been made yet whether the data will be stored on the smart card or on a central database. John predicts that the government will collect data for all three biometric identifiers, face, fingerprints and irises, when residents enrol for the ID card. But the government may choose not to store that data on the cards. "Storing on the card would allow for offline verification, but that would require expensive readers and so might not be considered worthwhile". The article concludes that despite the unanswered questions surrounding the technology, it appears that the UK is ready to move forward with what would become Europe's most ambitious national ID scheme.Tue, 08 Feb 2005 16:12:34 GMT2/8/2005 4:12:34 PM2/8/2005 4:12:34 PMinfo@chyp.com (Consult Hyperion Web Site)Consult Hyperion Web Siteinfo@chyp.compresscoverage162truehttp://www.chyp.com/consulthyperion_feed_library.aspx7/29/2010 12:00:00 AMNeil McEvoy, Managing Director of Consult Hyperion, contributed an article to Security Management and Industry today on the 1st January 2005. The article discusses the controversial Home Office Bill which sets out a national identity scheme comprising a national identity register together with individual cards for all UK citizens. It goes on to examine how biometrics will be used to identify and verify individuals. "A biometric that correctly identifies people 99.99% of the time could cause tens of thousands of exceptions per day. In such circumstances, real violations might be written off as systems failures and ignored. Therefore the UK's impending national identity infrastructure may have to use more than one biometric in order to achieve each one of the Government's stated goals for the cards - namely controlling immigration, fighting terrorism, reducing crime and improving public service delivery. What this means is that the Government will have to think ahead and plan its strategy very carefully."

Beyond Chip and PIN, a new generation of contactless payment systems will enable customers to pay for goods and services simply by holding their card near the reader, just like the existing Oyster Card in London Underground. Such contactless systems could prove invaluable in the hospitality environment. "Trials in the US have been very successful and in the fast-food arena contactless payment is not just quicker than credit card, it is quicker than cash" says Dave. "Even before contactless credit cards become mainstream, hotels could issue guests with contactless tags that could add drinks food and vending items to the hotel bill."

At present all card issuers send customers their PIN by post, but Egg claims it is the first bank to allow its customers to receive and check their PIN online. "The main problem with Chip & PIN is the PIN is stored on the card. This makes it difficult for a company such as Egg to install a system that would allow customers to change a PIN online.

Digitisation, the ability to represent the products of human imagination (be they musical compositions, motion pictures, designs for useful artefacts, or anything else) as 'bitstreams'- sequences of ones and zeroes - is a profound advance for human society. As with all technical advances, it promises widespread and long-lasting benefits, but threatens economic doom to narrow sections of society that earn a living from exploiting older technologies that are rendered obsolete. Not unnaturally, these groups will attempt to resist progress with all means at their disposal.Fri, 12 Sep 2003 08:55:28 GMT9/12/2003 8:55:28 AM9/12/2003 8:55:28 AMinfo@chyp.com (Consult Hyperion Web Site)Consult Hyperion Web Siteinfo@chyp.compresscoverage60truehttp://www.chyp.com/consulthyperion_feed_library.aspx7/29/2010 12:00:00 AMhttp://www.chyp.com/PubWebFiles/presscoverage/Digital_ID_opinion.pdf"Consult Hyperion highlight major issues and announce its 4th Annual Digital Identity Forum".
