Comment Re:Authentication and Identification servers (Score 1) 212

I love the concept of getting authentication onto a separate server/service/system. It's crazy that anyone can run "select * from users" and get a whole sites credential listing with a simple SQL injection.

However, how did you come to suggest Kerberos as the Authentication system. There are many others, all it seems with downsides of being overly complex:
-OpenID, OAuth, Radius, CHAP, TACACS+, LDAP, etc.

Submission + - Students Tracked With RFID Chips

An anonymous reader writes: The Hungerhill School in Edenthorpe, England has initiated a program that puts RFID chips in the student's uniforms to keep track of there whereabouts as reported by Yahoo. A group called 'Leave Them Kids Alone' is opposing the program. Security Expert Bruce Schneier blogs: "...Now it's easy to cut class; just ask someone to carry your shirt around the building while you're elsewhere." Another disturbing 'Think of the Children' program. At least it doesn't explode if you leave the school boundaries.
