CyberInsecurity: The Cost of Monopoly

How the Dominance of Microsoft's Products Poses a Risk to Security. CCIA warned of the security dangers posed by software monopolies during the US antitrust proceeding against Microsoft in the mid and late 1990’s. We later urged the European Union to take measures to avoid a software “monoculture” that each day becomes more susceptible to computer viruses, Trojan Horses and other digital pathogens.

Biometrics - the EU takes another step down the road to 1984
  • biometric documents for visas and resident third country nationals to be introduced by 2005
  • biometric passports/documents for EU citizens to follow
  • "compulsory" fingerprints and facial images
  • data and personal information to be held on national and EU-wide databases
  • admission that powers of data protection authorities cannot cope
  • no guarantees that data will not be made available to non-EU states (eg: USA)

The European Commission has produced two draft Regulations (25.9.03) to introduce two sets of biometric data (fingerprints and facial image) on visas and resident permits for third country nationals by 2005. The biometric data and personal details on visas will be stored on national and EU-wide databases and be accessible through the Visa Information System (VIS) held on the Schengen Information System (SIS II).
