Path Intelligence - Phorm for shopping centres?路徑情報-p horm商場？
Spy Blog間諜博客 | Just in case you thought that |只是在情況下，您認為 Phorm phorm was the only threat to your privacy, here is an example of similar “no opt out” snooping technology being installed in the infrastructure of a public space, a shopping centre, which secretly snoops on individuals, without their informed prior consent , in the hope that advertising and sales revenues can be maximised.是唯一的威脅，您的隱私，在這裡就是一個例子，類似的“不退出”窺探技術正在安裝在基礎設施，公共空間，一個購物中心，該中心秘密snoops對個人，沒有他們的通知事先同意 ，在希望認為，廣告和銷售收入可以達到最大化。
There is no way, short of switching off your mobile phone, of opting out or avoiding this snooping scheme.是沒有出路的，短期關掉你的手機，選擇退出或避免這種窺探的計劃。
The Times has a story:時代一個故事：
From Times Online May 16, 2008從時報在線2008年5月16日 Shops secretly track customers via mobile phone商店暗中跟踪客戶通過手機
Signals given off by phones allow shopping centres to monitor how long people stay and which stores they visit信號給予關閉手機，讓商場的監測多久，人們逗留和儲存他們的訪問
Jonathan Richards, San Francisco喬納森理查茲，舊金山
Customers in shopping centres are having their every move tracked by a new type of surveillance that listens in on the whisperings of their mobile phones.顧客在商場有他們的一舉一動，追踪一種新型的監督，傾聽在對聲音的手機。
The technology can tell when people enter a shopping centre, what stores they visit, how long they remain there, and what route they take as they walked around.該技術可以告訴當人們進入一個購物中心，什麼商店，他們的訪問，多久，他們仍然在那裡，什麼路線，他們採取，因為他們走到靠近。
All the same issues about the lack of informed, prior consent of members of the public who have been, or are now being snooped on in secret, for the commercial benefit of others, apply to所有同樣的問題，對缺乏知情，事先徵得成員的公眾誰已經，或現正snooped就在秘密，為商業利益，他人的，適用於 Path Intelligence Ltd.路徑情報有限公司 (technology provider), the shopping centres (public infrastructure providers), and retailers (profit makers), just as they do to Phorm (technology provider), the Internet Service Providers (public infrastructure providers) and web advertisers (profit makers). （技術提供商） ，商場（公共基礎設施供應商） ，零售商（利潤，製造商） ，就像他們做phorm （技術提供商） ，互聯網服務提供商（公共基礎設施供應商）和網絡廣告客戶（盈利） 。
If you look at the如果你看看在 demonstration示範 (needs Flash) of the interactive mapping and reporting software which Path Intelligence seem to have developed for this snooping technology, you will see that it could also be easily applied to display and analyse inputs from other “spy on the public without their knowledge or consent” technologies which exploit things which large numbers of people might be carrying on their persons, like BlueTooth or unkilled consumer product RFID tags, or “Biometric” Passports or ID Cards. （需要閃光）的互動映射和報告軟件的路徑情報，似乎已發展為這窺探技術，你會看見它也可以方便地應用於顯示和分析的投入，從其他“間諜對市民沒有他們的不知情或不同意的“技術利用的東西，大量的人可能攜帶對他們的人一樣，藍牙或unkilled消費產品的RFID標籤，或”生物識別“護照或身份證。
It should be relatively simple to link such a system to the existing CCTV surveillance camera networks which modern shopping centres all employ.應該相對簡單的連接這樣一個系統，以現有的閉路電視監視攝像機的網絡，現代商場所有聘用。
Sharon Biggar, the company’s chief operating officer, said that one of the stores which had already deployed the receivers did not want its name revealed for fear of alarming its customers.沙龍biggar ，該公司的首席營運官說，一個商店已部署了接收不希望其透露姓名的，恐怕令人震驚的客戶。
Who is this snooping retailer ?誰是這窺探零售商？ Why should we not boycott them ?我們為什麼不抵制他們？
The company that makes the dishes, which measure 30cm (12 inches) square and are placed on walls around the centre, said that they were useful to centres that wanted to learn more about the way their customers used the store.該公司認為，使菜，其中的措施， 30厘米（ 12英寸）廣場和放在牆壁上圍繞中心，說他們是有益的中心，希望了解更多有關其客戶的方式使用存儲。
A shopping mall could, for example, find out that 10,000 people were still in the store at 6pm, helping to make a case for longer opening hours, or that a majority of customers who visited Gap also went to Next, which could useful for marketing purposes.一個購物中心例如，可以找到指出，萬人，仍是在商店時至下午六時，有助於使案件為延長開放時間，或一個廣大客戶的誰訪問的差距也到明年，這可能有用的營銷用途。
10,000 people in a store sounds positively dangerous.萬人在商店裡的聲音，積極危險的。 Perhaps they mean within the shopping centre.也許他們的意思內部的購物中心。
Why would large crowds of shoppers still milling around at closing time not be utterly obvious to human staff, without the need for this snooping technology ?為什麼會大批購物者仍然銑削左右，在關閉時間不完全明顯的對人類的工作人員，如果沒有這方面的需要窺探技術？
It has already been installed in two shopping centres, including Gunwharf Quays in Portsmouth, and three more centres will begin using it next month, Times Online has learnt.它已經安裝在兩個商場，包括gunwharf碼頭，在樸次茅斯，和3個中心將開始使用它在下個月，時報在線已知悉。
The other shopping centre may well be newly refurbished The Cascades, also in Portsmouth - there appears to其他商場的可能是新近裝修的葉柵，也是在樸次茅斯-似乎有
In the case of Gunwharf Quays, managers were surprised to discover that an unusually high percentage of visitors were German - the receivers can tell in which country each phone is registered - which led to the management translating the instructions in the car park.在該案件gunwharf碼頭，管理人員驚奇地發現了一個異常高的訪問者的百分比分別為德語-接收機可以告訴在哪個國家，每個電話是註冊-而導致管理翻譯的指示在停車場。
Why could none of the shopping centre staff or retail shop staff determine that there were lots of German speaking visitors ?為什麼沒有商場中心的工作人員或零售商店的工作人員確定有大量的德語發言旅客呢？
The Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) expressed cautious approval of the technology, which does not identify the owner of the phone but rather the handset’s IMEI code - a unique number given to every device so that the network can recognise it.信息專員辦公室（保險公司條例）表示謹慎批准的技術，該技術並不確定業主的電話，而是手機的IMEI代碼-一個獨一無二的號碼，給每個裝置，使該網絡能夠承認它。
But an ICO spokesman said, “we would be very worried if this technology was used in connection with other systems that contain personal information, if the intention was to provide more detailed profiles about identifiable individuals and their shopping habits.”但一保險公司條例發言人說： “我們會很擔心，如果這一技術用於他們涉嫌與其他系統包含個人信息，如果用意是提供更詳細的概況可識別的個人和他們的購物習慣” 。
Errr… it is a shopping centre stuffed full of CCTV cameras and private security guards - who seriously believes that this FootPath(tm) snooping will never be used in conjunction with CCTV ? errr … …這是一個購物中心塞進充滿了閉路電視攝影機和私人警衛-誰認真地認為，這小徑（技術備忘錄）窺探將永遠不能再用於聯同中央電視台？
Only the phone network can match a handset’s IMEI number to the personal details of a customer.只有電話網絡可以配合手機的IMEI號碼，以個人的詳細資料的客戶。
Path Intelligence, the Portsmouth-based company which developed the technology, said its equipment was just a tool for market research.路徑情報，樸次茅斯基於該公司開發的技術，說其設備，只是一個工具，作為市場調研。 “There’s absolutely no way we can link the information we gather back to the individual,” a spokeswoman said. “有，絕對沒有出路，我們可以聯繫起來，我們將收集的資料回個人， ”一名女發言人說。 “There’s nothing personal in the data.” “有個人無關，在數據” 。
Nonsense !胡說八道！ Path Intelligence lists a long list of possibly commercially useful benefits of their system to shopping centre operators and retailers, most of which can and should only be accomplished through the use of anonymous aggregated statistics .路徑情報列出了長長的名單，可能在商業上有用的好處，他們的制度，以商場的營辦商和零售商，其中大部分可以而且應該只能通過使用匿名的匯總統計 。
However, if you read the last section of the不過，如果你讀的最後一節的 list of claimed benefits for the FootPath(tm) product清單中所稱的好處的小徑（ TM ）產品 , they admit that it is capable of identifying individuals ，他們承認這是能夠確定個人
Security:安全：
* Identify unauthorized individuals in ‘no go’ areas of the centre * 識別未經授權的個人在'沒有去'領域的中心
* Identify suspicious ‘left’ luggage *查明可疑的'左'的行李
How is it possible to do this with truly anonymous data ?怎麼可能這樣做，這與真正的無名氏的數據？ Either there is a “whitelist” of individual authorised staff phones or a “blacklist” of alleged individual “troublemaker” phones, or there is one watchlist database with different status flags.無論是有“白名單”個別認可工作人員的手機或“黑名單”被指控的個別“麻煩製造者”的電話，或有一個監視列表中的數據庫與不同身份的旗幟。
This visualisation graphic screenshot clearly shows that shoppers can be tracked individually.這可視化圖形畫面清楚地表明，購物者還可以追踪個別。 The apparent “walking through walls” effect is an artifact of the path that the software uses to join the periodic data points, which are probably about 5 to 10 minutes apart, ie when your mobile phone makes a handshake with the network, to check signal strength with the neighbouring mobile phone cell tower base stations.明顯的“穿過牆壁效應”是一個偽的路徑，該軟件利用參加定期的數據點，這很可能是約5到10分鐘外，即當您的手機作出了握手，與網絡，以檢查信號實力與鄰近細胞的移動電話基地站大樓。

The description of the features of the PI Explorer software which analyses the data from the snooping antennas includes:描述特徵的PI Explorer軟件分析的數據，從窺探天線包括：
Security alerts that send an SMS message should a security situation be identified保安警報發送短信應該有一個安全的情況確定
Just as with Phorm, it is up to Path Intelligence to prove and reassure the general public that it is impossible for their system to be abused.正如與phorm ，這是最多的路徑情報，以證明和保證，一般市民認為，這是不可能將其系統被濫用。 We will not simply take it on trust, from people with commercial or other motives for extending the surveillance capabilities of a system, which does not have any way for people to opt out of being snooped on.我們將不會簡單地採取它的信任，從人與商業或其他動機，擴大監測能力的一個制度，這是沒有任何出路的人選擇退出正在snooped上。
Can you spot the IMEI snooping antennas ? 你能看到的IMEI窺探天線？
The Times article says that the first secret trials of this technology on the unsuspecting public are being conducted by this Portsmouth based company seem to be at the local時代的文章說，第一次秘密審判，這技術對不知情的市民所進行的這樸次茅斯基於公司似乎是在地方 Gunwharf Quay shopping centre gunwharf碼頭購物中心 , although we suspect that it may have also been tested, or is still in use, at the ，雖然我們懷疑它可能也經過測試，或者是仍然在使用，在 Cascades shopping centre葉柵購物中心 , also in Portsmouth (there seems to be a Cascades demo on the Path Intelligence website, as well as a West Quay one) ，也是在樸次茅斯（似乎有一種葉柵演示對路徑情報網站，以及作為一個西碼頭一）
We would welcome any photos and location reports from any Spy Blog readers who can spot the locations of the mobile phone signal snooping antennas - “30cm (12 inches) square “.我們將歡迎任何照片和位置報告，從任何間諜博客讀者誰可以現場的地點，移動電話信號窺探天線-“ 3 0厘米（ 1 2英寸）坊” 。
(original image from The Times article) （原始圖像從時代的文章）
See the見 Gunwharf Quay shopping centre maps gunwharf碼頭中心購物地圖 . 。
What is the density of the snooping antennas required in order to achieve a location accuracy of 1 to 2 metres indoors ?什麼是密度的窺探天線的要求，為了實現一個位置的準確性， 1至2米，在室內呢？
The receivers together cost about £20,000 to rent per month.接收機一起耗資約2.0萬英鎊的租金每月。 About 20 of the units, which are unobtrusive, cream-coloured boxes about the size of a satellite dish, would be needed to cover the Bluewater shopping centre.約20的單位，這是突兀，奶油色盒大小約一個衛星天線，將需要支付bluewater商場中心的地位。
Bluewater (near Dagenham in London), is a much larger shopping centre than Gunwharf Quays bluewater （近dagenham在倫敦） ，是一個更大的購物中心，比gunwharf碼頭
Are there any Warning Signs or notices on display at these shopping centres, which warn their customers or potential customers and other members of the public that their mobile phones are being tracked ?是否有任何警告標誌或告示，顯示在這些商場，警告他們的客戶或潛在客戶和其他成員的市民，他們的手機被追踪？
Can these systems also track IMEI signals from the neighbouring area outside of the shopping centre or its car parks ?可這些系統也跟踪的IMEI信號從鄰近地區以外的購物中心或其停車場？
NB Similar location snooping results could be achieved by the Mobile Phone Networks, and their Location Based Data services, especially at, say, Airports, where there are lots of mobile phone micro-cells or pico-cells installed, to try to grab profitable business account customers and tourists with expensive call roaming charges on their network rather than on their rivals networks, when the visitors first switch on their mobile phones after landing.毒品調查科類似的位置，探聽的結果可以實現由流動電話網絡，以及他們基於位置的數據服務，尤其是在說，機場，那裡有大量的移動電話微型細胞或皮細胞的安裝，試圖抓住有利可圖的生意帳戶顧客和遊客與昂貴的電話漫遊費用對他們的網絡，而非其競爭對手的網絡，當遊客第一次開關在其手機上登陸後。
Secure Web interface ? 安全網頁界面？
Those Spy Blog readers who remember our criticisms of various Mobile Phone Location Based Services systems launched in recent years, will know that we are rightly sceptical when we see that such potentially sensitive data eg the location of your children, is not being processed and securely stored locally, but is happily being uploaded and then made available via the inherently insecure internet.這些間諜博客讀者誰記得我們的批評各種手機基於位置的服務系統的推出，近年來，將知道我們是正確的懷疑，當我們看到這種潛在敏感的數據，例如位置，你們的孩子，是不是正在處理和安全地儲存在當地，但快樂是正在上載，然後可通過互聯網在本質上沒有安全感。
Path Intelligence Explorer is our secure, internet delivery solution.路徑情報Explorer是我們的安全，互聯網提供的解決方案。 Your data can be accessed 24/7, allowing you the convenience to interrogate your information from anywhere in the world您的數據可以訪問24 / 7 ，讓您方便審問您的信息從世界上任何地方
What proof is there that such a web based system is not vulnerable to unathorised access from anywhere in the world ?什麼證明是有這樣一個基於Web的系統是不容易unathorised隨時隨地存取，在世界上呢？
There is no indication that this data is strongly encrypted, either when it is being uploaded from the snooping antennas, nor when a customer downloads web based graphical or Excel spreadsheet reports.目前並無跡象顯示，此數據是加密的強烈，無論是當它正在上載，從窺探天線，也沒有當用戶下載基於Web的圖形或Excel試算表的報告。
Why not use it in Prisons instead ? 為什麼不使用它而不是在監獄中呢？
There is a place for this mobile phone location snooping technology, to operate without the informed consent of the people whose mobile phone locations are being tracked by the FootPath(tm) system , but that is not in any public shopping areas.有一個地方，這個手機的位置窺探技術，經營未經知情同意的人的移動電話的地點，現正追踪的小徑（ TM ）系統，但事實並非在任何公眾的購物區。 It could and should be deployed in every prison , given the vast numbers of illegal mobile phones which are smuggled into British prisons every year.它可以而且應該被部署在每一個監獄 ，由於大量非法手機是走私到英國的監獄每年。
See看見 Thousands of Mobile Phones seized in UK Prisons - evidence of corruption ?成千上萬的手機，檢獲在英國的監獄-貪污證據？
There have been attempts to use similar RFID badge based location tagging in a couple of US Prisons, so as to keep prison gang members under surveillance.有嘗試使用類似的RFID徽章基於位置的標記，在一對夫婦，美國監獄中，以便使監獄幫派成員進行監視。
Please do not deploy such prison panopticon technology against the innocent public.請不要部署這種監獄panopticon技術對無辜市民。
Illegal to spoof IMEI 非法欺詐的IMEI
The first reaction of some of our more technically proficient readers might be to start thinking of ways to devise IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identifier) spoofing devices, to frustrate any such snooping system.第一反應我們的一些更在技術上精通的讀者可能會開始想辦法制訂的IMEI （國際移動設備識別碼）欺騙裝置，挫敗任何此類竊聽系統。
However, apart from probably disrupting the local mobile phone system for other users, including possible life saving calls to the Emergency Services, this would be illegal in the United Kingdom and punishable by up to 5 years in prison , a serious enough offence to invoke extradition proceedings from abroad, if necessary.不過，除了可能破壞當地的移動電話系統的其他用戶，包括可能的救生打電話給緊急服務，這將是非法在美國，英國和處以長達5年的監禁 ，嚴重的罪行足夠的引用引渡從國外的訴訟，如果必要的。
See看見 Mobile Telephones (Re-programming) Act 2002移動電話（重新編程）法2002年
This badly worded Act criminalises the mere possession of equipment or software (ie a computer and a serial cable or BlueTooth connection) which may be used, or the actual act of changing an IMEI without the written permission of the (usually foreign) handset manufacturer (incredibly, not , the UK based mobile phone network operator),.-這嚴重的措辭法為刑事罪，僅僅擁有設備或軟件（即電腦和一個串行電纜或藍牙連接）可用於，或實際行為的改變一的IMEI未經我們的書面許可（通常是外國的） 手機製造商 （難以置信的是， 不 ，英國為基礎的移動電話網絡營辦商） ， .-
This Act has been recently amended to also criminalise simply advertising or offering such an IMEI re-programming service or product.此法最近已作出修訂，也列為刑事罪行只是廣告或提供這樣一個的IMEI重新編程的服務或產品。
Note that the stupid wording of this Act also criminalises any spoofing or changing of IP addresses or MAC addresses of BlueTooth or WiFi or internet data connected WAP phones, SmartPhones etc. which connect to the internet via GSM or 3G data services ie most modern mobile phones, PDAs and portable computers which can act as mobile telephones.注意的是愚蠢的字眼，該法還為刑事罪的任何欺騙或改變的IP地址或MAC地址的藍牙或WiFi或互聯網數據連接的WAP手機，智能手機等連接到互聯網通過GSM或3 G的數據服務，即最先進的移動電話， PDA及手提電腦，其中可以作為移動電話。
