New group to help first responders with ID cards - Network World: "But complying with the FIPS 201 standard can be expensive, and the consortium thinks that it can help local departments cut costs by offering them a helping hand with the process. 'What we're trying to do is make it easier and more effective for first responders to be FIPS-compliant... so they can go and do their jobs,' said Howard Schmidt, the former cybersecurity advisor to the White House, and a backer of the project.

Each lock can accommodate up to 1,000 users and operates with an iButton rather than a key to lock or unlock a door. To use, residents touch their iButtons to the sensor on the face of the lock. Property managers can use supplier software to personalize each iButton so that only one device is needed to gain access to necessary areas of the property.

Judge overturns portion of PATRIOT Act

Judge overturns portion of PATRIOT Act: "Congress passed the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism (USA PATRIOT) Act in 2001, granting law enforcement the power to request information on phone calls and e-mail correspondence from electronic communication service providers. In 2006, Congress reauthorized and amended portions of the law to only allow government agents to require that NSL recipients remain silent on the existence of such orders only if the Director of the FBI or a special agent-in-charge designated by the Director has certified that such disclosure would be dangerous. Following the reauthorization of the provisions of the USA PATRIOT Act, the Office of Inspector General for the Department of Justice reported that the use of National Security Letters had climbed quickly at the FBI. The federal law enforcement agency used NSL requests 39,000 times in 2003, 56,000 times in 2004 and 47,000 times in 2005, according to the OIG report. Judge Marrero stayed the ruling until the government can appeal."
