#Singapore Telecom to buy US cybersecurity firm for $810 mn Singapore Telecom (Singtel) said Wednesday it will buy almost all of US cybersecurity firm Trustwave for $810 million,
Southeast asia's biggest telecom firm by revenue said it will acquire a 98 percent equity interest in Trustwave under an agreement it signed with the Chicago-headquartered company.
Trustwave, a leading specialist in managed security services, is valued at $850 million, Singtel said in a statement.
Trustwave chairman and chief executive Robert J. Mccullen will hold the other two percent.""We aspire top be a global player in cybersecurity,
"Singtel said it"will leverage Trustwave's threat intelligence, technology and talent to meet the growing demand for always-on managed security services in North america and the Asia-Pacific region".
"Trustwavehich helps firms fight cybercrime, protect their data and reduce security riskas three million business subscribers served by 1, 200 employees in 26 countries.
Singtel said that after the acquisition, Trustwave will continue to operate as an independent business unit
and strengthen is position in the United states and Europe. The purchase will also enable Trustwave to use Singtel's vast presence in the Asia Pacific to"broaden its overall security portfolio
and address the fast-growing emerging security market opportunity"in the region, the statement added. Cash-rich Singtel has been expanding well beyond its small domestic market
and holds substantial stakes in mobile telecom firms in key Asian markets including India, Indonesia, the Philippines and Thailand.

#Lasers burn holes in quantum security systems A new way to hack quantum-cryptography systems has been unveiled by physicists in Canada.
QKD uses the laws of quantum mechanics to guarantee complete security when two people exchange a cryptographic key.
Unconditional security? In practice, however, the security of QKD is impaired by physical limitations of the sources,
receivers and other hardware used to implement it. According to Vadim Makarov of the University of Waterloo and colleagues, many scientists assume that
then QKD can"provide unconditional security"."But the team has shown that even in perfectly understood systems,
The group also used the same laser to weaken the security of"quantum coin tossing,
The Canadian group says that the new results should force scientists to"think again"about how to assess the security of quantum-cryptographic devices,

He believes that countermeasures are possible, suggesting that an additional detector could be installed to register the light from any damaging laser beams.

#Biometric Security: From Selfies To Walking Gaits Oren Levy is CEO of Zooz. The payments industry, facing the risk of increasingly sophisticated cyberattacks
and various types of credit card fraud, has begun incorporating various types of biometric technology to enhance security
and prevent breaches. As recently reported, Mastercard is launching a facial recognition payment service based on elfiestaken on a smartphone.
which has boosted security on its mobile app by using fingerprint sensors that are installed on some Samsung Electronics devices.
While the payments industry is currently working full steam on various forms of biometric technology aimed at thwarting ever-increasing security breaches in payments technologies,
because it affords a higher level of security against cyber attacks than other protection methods. The newfound availability of biometric technology for mobile and cloud-based platforms raises the security bar further.
Nevertheless, while there are many who hail biometrics as a game changer, others believe that in its current form it does not provide the necessary level of security to prevent identity theft.
The fact is that hackers have succeeded in using photographs to lift fingerprints and access personal accounts.
A lot is happening these days in the field of identification technology to increase security. Qualcomm Technologies recently announced the development of the first comprehensive mobile biometric solution based on ultrasonic technology.
and tokenization layers that will ensure high-level security. The ultimate solution technology may involve using a mixture of several forms of biometric authentication,
Increased security is not the only consideration when discussing the advantages of biometrics. Imagine a world in which there is no need to remember a slew of passwords and PINS for various sites.

#Environment Friendly Paper-Based Security Tags to Protect Shipments In collaboration with its EU project partners,

thus producing novel security tags for sealing shipments and verifying the authenticity of products.""With the help of roll-to-roll technologies, VTT has implemented a security element that can be used for supervising the integrity of shipments.
Our project partners have been examining the recyclability of the security element and its feasibility in logistics chains,

"In its studies, our project partner ITENE has detected that the components used in the security element have a very minor influence on the optical and mechanical properties of recycled fibres.
The security tag consists of a paper tag with an embedded battery and two coloured LEDS.
In the ROPAS project, VTT showed that roll-to-roll technology for printing electronics is suited also to the manufacturing of paper-based security tags.
