Chelsea and Westminster Hospital in London invests in a new electronic baby tagging system provided by Reading-based security experts MAXTAG. The baby tagging system has been installed on the Maternity Unit and Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). Almost 6,000 babies a year are born at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital.

posted on 21/02/2012

Swivel Secure the global leader in tokenless authentication technology has announced the availability of a new PINpad interface to add to its already extensive range of deployment options. PINpad is designed for low-risk business applications to add an extra security step to the standard username and password authentication process, when a full two-factor solution is not a critical requirement. Based on a familiar numerical keypad format, PINpad appears as an image embedded into the application login page with the digits 0 to 9 randomly distributed on different keys each time it is used. After the user has entered their password, they are prompted to enter a one-time-code (OTC) to complete the authentication. The OTC is automatically entered into the form as the user mouse-clicks the digits of their PIN on the virtual keypad. If this is correctly submitted back to the authentication server the user is granted access to the restricted area of the network. The new interface is extre... [more]
