An iris scanning technology to securely get into your social networking sites, e-mails and bank accounts comes in. The technology developed by the New York based biometric security firm Hoyos Group comes up in form of a USB drive. The device has to be connected with a personal computer via USB port.

In a time when virtually any electronic device can be hacked, lifesaving devices such as pacemakers are no exception. To help protect patients wearing such devices, researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and the University of Massachusetts have entered into a joint venture to develop wireless “cloaks” that may be used with existing implants and may be removed during a medical emergency. The “medical shield” acts like a firewall that protects implants from unauthorized access or hacking, and may be disabled by special encrypted instructions uploaded by doctors.

ThruVision Systems has officially unveiled to the world, the most high-tech body scanner ever. Dubbed the TS4, this compact security body scanner was presented at the Farnborough International Air Show in Hampshire. The high-tech security scanner can detect everything from explosives, liquids, narcotics, weapons, plastics to ceramics hidden under clothing. What is more, the TS4 can image both metallic and non-metallic threat objects concealed on still or moving subjects, without revealing body details and also without radiating the person with energy. The TS4 functions collecting natural thermal energy which is generated by all people. The TS4 with its high-tech configurations and improved image definition provides a more compact, yet more effective and powerful alternative to full body scanners. Its main advantage has to be that it offers a larger field of use and usability.
