The discovery was made by Nasa as it was combing through data from its Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (Wise),

and public anxiety around having such sensitive data captured, stored, and accessed. We have researched this area by presenting people with potential future scenarios that involved biometrics.

major data protection and privacy considerations would have to be made. The EU has a robust legal framework on privacy and data protection.

These are recognised as fundamental rights and so related laws are among the highest ranking. Biometric data, such as iris scans, are treated often as special due to the sensitivity of the information they can contain.

Our respondents also acknowledged this:''I think it's a little too invasive and to

The very fact that long-range iris scanners can capture data without the collaboration of their subject also creates legal issues.

and the existence of their rights surrounding the data. Another issue is how the data is kept secure, particularly in the case of iris-scanning by objects such as smart phones.

Scans stored on the device and/or on the cloud for purposes of future authentication would legally require robust security protection.

Data stored on the cloud tends to move around between different servers and countries, which makes preventing unauthorised access more difficult.

And processing data accurately is another principle of EU data protection law. Even if we do find ourselves subject to unwanted iris-scanning from 40ft (12 metres),

According to Nasa, scientists could also use it to search for images and data from spacecraft.

The video and image search capabilities of Memex could one day benefit space missions that take photos, videos and other kinds of imaging data with instruments such as spectrometers.

Scientists analyzing imaging data from Earth-based missions that monitor phenomena such as snowfall and soil moisture could similarly benefit.

Memex would also enhance the search for published scientific data, so that scientists can be better aware of

The technology could be applied to large NASA data centers such as the Physical oceanography Distributed Active Archive Center,

Awareness of existing publications also helps program managers to assess the impact of spacecraft data.

#Big U s. Data Breaches Offer Treasure trove for Hackers A massive breach of U s. federal computer networks disclosed this week is the latest in a flood of attacks by suspected Chinese hackers aimed at grabbing personal data,

The first breach has been linked to earlier thefts of personal data from millions of records at Anthem Inc, the second largest U s. health insurer,

Guidance Software, a cybersecurity firm, said the first signs of data"exfiltration"were detected originally with Einstein

"We've seen a huge uptick in opportunistic exfiltration of high-value data, "he said, adding that the attack on the pharma company involved malicious software installed together with the Chinese-language search engine Baidu.

U s. government officials and cyber analysts say Chinese hackers are using high-tech tactics to build massive databases that could be used for traditional espionage goals,

All that data could help hackers identify information about specific targets including potential passwords for websites that may be portals to information about weapons systems or other research data."

How do the pixels work? As stated, the device works off electrophoretic principles, the phenomena behind e-ink/e-paper displays,

The interaction of incoming light with each electrophoretic pixel (two electrodes) depends on the position of the particles relative to these electrodes,

#Data sharing Takes Two steps Forward Two small but significant steps forward were taken yesterday in the direction of open access to clinical trial data.

A committee of the Institute of Medicine (IOM) yesterday called for the sharing of supporting data for clinical trials results within six months after publication, with a full analyzable data set shared no later than 18 months

after study completion or 30 days after regulatory approval. Also yesterday, Johnson & johnson (J&j) joined the Yale Open Data Access (YODA) Project in agreeing to share data from clinical trials for medical devices and diagnostics.

The YODA Project said in a statement that the agreement stablishes a fully independent intermediary to manage requests

and promote data use, as J&j has done with pharmaceutical clinical trial data since last year.

Under the agreement, the YODA Project will approve or deny requests from investigators for de-identified patient data associated with the pharmaceutical, medical device,

and diagnostic clinical trials conducted by J&j companies. his action will benefit society and represents a major step forward in the effort to promote data sharing,

as Johnson & johnson leadership in this area now extends from sharing its drug data to sharing its device

and diagnostics data, said Dr. Harlan Krumholz, professor of medicine and leader of the YODA Project. e hope this action serves as a catalyst to others to join the momentum on open science.

The two new developments join what the IOM report acknowledged was progress toward data sharing in recent years.

Eleven drug developers have committed to sharing clinical trial data through clinicalstudydatarequest. com and allow an independent review panel to decide data requests:

Astellas, Bayer, Boehringer ingelheim, Glaxosmithkline, Lilly, Novartis, Roche, Sanofi, Takeda, UCB, and Viiv Healthcare. Three industry groupspharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (Phrma), the European Federation of Pharmaceutical industries and Associations (EFPIA),

and the Biotechnology industry Organization (BIO) ignaled support for sharing clinical trial data beyond recent industry norms,

but not the open-access sought by Europe chief drug regulator and Glaxosmithkline. The European Medicines Agency in October issued a more expansive data sharing policy last October,

though not the full open-access sought by advocates. The IOM Committee on Strategies for Responsible Sharing of Clinical Trial Data similarly said its recommendations were intended to balance data sharing benefitsaximizing knowledge

stimulating new research ideas, and avoiding duplicative trialsith its challenges. The panel defined those challenges as protecting privacy and consent for trial patients;

and publish their data, safeguarding commercially confidential information, and assuring research institutes that requirements for sharing clinical data will not be nfunded mandates.

Also included among challenges was uarding against invalid secondary analyses, which could undermine trust in clinical trials

or otherwise harm public health? whether through inadvertent errors in data analysis or, in the U s.,the prospect of monetary gain through qui tam lawsuits, the report stated.

The panel expressed fear that such invalid analyses ill lead to claims of risk that are not scientifically valid,

Doj closed its investigation last year without carrying out any action. he sharing of clinical trial data needs to be carried out in a way that maintains incentives for sponsors

and maintaining transparency in data-access policies. The panel defined stakeholders to include funders and sponsors,

which data sharing is expected the norm, and should commit to responsible strategies aimed at maximizing the benefits,

and overcoming the challenges of sharing clinical trial data for all parties, the IOM panel stated.

IOM committee said that data-use agreements should include provisions aimed at protecting clinical trial participants,

giving credit to the investigators who collected the clinical trial data, protecting the intellectual property interests of sponsors,

whether and how data use agreements will be enforced, the committee believes these agreements have significant normative, symbolic,
