News (NYT): Red­light Cam­era bat­tles heat­ing up

Red­light cam­era bat­tles are heat­ing up as peo­ple push-​​back against the idea of vir­tual law enforce­ment offi­cers. Certichron’s SecureNTP and DES ser­vice when cou­pled with the Cer­e­monies in Soft­ware prac­tice for vir­tu­al­iz­ing a LEO com­mis­sion into a sys­tem, all aspects of the Khaled are met seam­lessly. For more info see our posts on the red­light cam­era (RLC) and dig­i­tal evi­dence fiasco fac­ing the RLC operators.

CTO’s Blog: Mass­a­chu­setts Supreme Jus­tice Court rules “the Earth is Flat!”

In direct oppo­si­tion to the DoD Ban on unen­cryupted GPS for any offi­cial pur­pose beca­sue of its spoofa­bil­ity and lack of secu­rity, the Mass­a­chu­setts State Supreme Judi­cial Court ruled that GPS data from a 2004 case is reli­able evi­dence for pros­e­cu­tion. http://​www​.salem​news​.com/​l​o​c​a​l​/​x​1​7​0​3​9​4​6​8​4​2​/​C​o​u​r​t​-​r​u​l​e​s​-​G​P​S​-​e​v​i​d​e​n​c​e​-​i​s​-​a​d​m​i​s​s​i​ble The Court’s response was: “Our pre­em­i­nent con­cern with respect to the evi­dence pre­sented and […]

CTO’s Blog: Use of SecureNTP DES in Law Enforce­ment Appli­ca­tions — the Vir­tu­al­iza­tion of a LEO

Police and Sheriff’s Depart­ments have a new hur­dle to leap and that is in meet­ing the new con­straints Khaled placed against their exist­ing evi­dence cap­ture and man­age­ment prac­tices To make it pos­si­ble for Law Enforce­ment (LE) to pro­tect our cul­ture and to deal with the ris­ing costs of insur­ing that secu­rity Law Enforce­ment processes are turning […]

CTO’s Blog: Orange County Busi­nesses with Sur­veil­lance Sys­tems are directly impacted by Khaled

Certichron’s SecureNTP and the DES time­stamp­ing tech­nol­ogy is exactly what the doc­tor ordered in that it allows a law enforce­ment or civic oper­a­tor to pro­vide court admis­si­ble evidence.

CTO’s Blog: Smart­Grid Reg­u­la­tory Sys­tems can­not rely on L1 GPS alone…

Reg­u­la­tion means plan­ning for a strong evi­dence model The L1 GPS evi­dence model is from a strength stand­point pretty poor, which is not to say the NavS­tar pro­gram is not an incred­i­ble boon to the Nation and the world as a whole. As a human-​​​​managed pas­sive nav­i­ga­tion bea­con GPS is a god­send. The nav­i­ga­tion bea­cons from the GPS Sys­tem allows for […]

CTO’s Blog: Yesterday’s Evi­dence mod­els were all self-​​attested.

Its worth not­ing that yesterday’s computer-​​​​information evi­dence mod­els were all self attested. They were some­one tes­ti­fy­ing about some report which means “that some events hap­pened”. This evolved to a form where ulti­mately peo­ple would just jump to the con­clu­sion and if it looked cor­rect assume each sub­stage of a work­flow was oper­at­ing prop­erly… how lit­tle we understood […]

CTO’s Blog: DECAF changes play­ing field for prov­able forensics

The claimed avail­abil­ity of the DECAF tools (now debunked as a stunt on http://​www​.decafme​.org) cre­ates a new world in Dig­i­tal Evi­dence where proof of the value and integrity of the evi­dence is now key.
