  3. This research is cornerstone to a privacy system. on No ID Cards in the Future · · Score: 0

    The article states, "Research is already underway to lessen some of the deleterious aspects of snooping, removing identifiers that would connect the individual to the data. IBM, for instance, is tinkering with "randomizing" data, which involves fatally altering data in a database. Number-crunchers can subsequently use the randomized data to study trends in the numbers, but can never reconstruct the original data--an improvement over using encrypted data. It's in the experimental stage, but the results are better than expected, said Rakesh Agrawal, an IBM fellow and one of the pioneers of data mining."

    Interestingly, they are lookingforward enough at thesedatabase altering techniques to justify the continued progress and depth of research. How much do they know already?

    It appears to refresh from your cache and your bookmarks. Make sure to clear both. It looks like the fix.

  9. Solid IT means $$$ on Data Mining, Cocaine and Secrecy · · Score: 1

    Investing in, and developing technology infrastructer is easiest done when money is no object. Hey Jose, want to protect the 4.8 billion you make every year? Buy this, this, this, etc... Quite unlike getting a req through purchasing withing 4 weeks for a new keyboard.
