学校の生徒の指紋採取は不必要、嵌入的不確かである
土曜日、2007年7月28日
学校グレッグMulhollandのための解放のDemの影の大臣は学校の生物測定データの使用の延期の討論英国下院を導く。 討論を、グレッグMulholland、学校のための解放のDemの影の大臣は開けて言った: か。この国では、たくさんの学校は3生徒の若者から生物測定データの指紋か他の形態を同様に集めている。 彼らは図書館の本の登録、貸出および学校の夕食の管理のために集められる。 何人かの企業的な会社は持って来る利点およびこれらのパッケージを販売するために学校に直接連絡する。 新しい部門はで何学校をこれが起こしているかわからない。 それは国のあらゆるローカル教育の権限区域で起こっていることを非公式な調査が提案するにもかかわらず、何学校が生物測定データを。集めているか政府にの記録がないか。 か。けれども運動をする構成によって行なわれる調査はそれらを残すだけ子供によっては第一次3,500および中学校が今生物測定のデータシステムを使用すると、そしておよそ750,000人の子供が彼らの学校によって指紋をとられたことが推定されていた。 週20の新しい学校がそれらの図に加えられていると推定されている。 従って、問題は。扱われる必要があるか。 か。1つの事は確かである: 親が頻繁に承諾を頼まれなくて、多くの場合均一ではない知識のあるではないことを何学校をこれが起こしている、私達は知っているか知る。 ある学校は手紙の家を-いくつかする従ってシステムがもたらされる前に、その後いくつか-送るが、それをする条件がない。 親、親グループ間に実質の不安があり、私恐れているこのポイントまでの市民の自由の組織政府によって。無視されたか。 Mulholland氏は政府が最終的に彼の討論のまさに日の生物測定データの使用の学校のための指導を出版したという事実を歓迎した。 学校で集められたデータの保証でMulholland氏は言った: か。独立した技術の専門家は彼らの意見でデータが安全に残ると言うことは不可能であることを示した。 Advances in technology mean that it is inaccurate to say that it will not be possible to reverse-engineer the data stored in order to obtain the original fingerprint.? ?There is also concern about how the data is stored. It is generally stored on small school networks or stand-alone PCs, with the most basic level of firewall protection and anti-theft protection, or it is held by the agencies who provide the technologies - and we are talking, of course, about an industry that is unregulated. Further, as Action on Rights for Children points out, schools are not secure places. Theft of school equipment is alarmingly frequent and IT equipment is a magnet for thieves.? ?Banks invest millions of pounds in constantly updating and adapting their security systems to prevent identity fraud, but how can schools be expected to do the same? However, unlike a bank personal identification number ? PIN - biometric data cannot be changed in the event of theft or identity fraud, and a person?s biometric data remains the same for a lifetime. Therefore, once stolen, it is compromised forever.? ?How long data is stored is also an issue. Schools act independently. Some might destroy the data they hold as soon as the child leaves school, but there is nothing to stop them keeping the data for longer, or permanently, if they have sufficient storage space. Not only does that raise questions about whether the data could be used by organisations, including the police or security services, in later life, or indeed while the child is still at school, it raises further concerns about the security of the data and the chance that it might be compromised.? Mr Mulholland concluded: ?The collection of biometric data by schools is not necessary. It is interesting to note that swipe cards are 100 per cent. accurate when passed over a reader, but biometric systems such as fingerprint scanners are only 93 per cent. accurate. So they are less accurate than swipe cards and considerably more expensive.? ?It raises many issues, including those of security, consent and information, as well as benefit, necessity and cost. I mean cost not only in monetary terms, but in the possible ramifications and consequences of the introduction of that practice. The government have been too slow to listen and too slow to act. They are finally engaging with the issue, but their response is still inadequate. It is not enough to say that parents should be consulted. They must be consulted, if biometric data, such as fingerprints, are to be taken from their children. Like a child?s safety on a school trip, the collection of a child?s fingerprints or other biometric data is enormously important, and should be treated with the same respect.? ?I have come to the conclusion that the costs of introducing that technology into our schools utterly outweigh any positive benefits that may ensue. The collection of biometric data in our schools is unnecessary, intrusive and insecure. A can of worms has been opened and, as yet, the government have failed adequately to close it. The situation is now a little clearer, but we want real clarity. The only way to achieve real clarity is for the government to say that schools must always ask parents for consent before taking biometric data from children.?
