Location Specific Digital Fingerprint

A team of top war games scientists from NSA, the U.S. Joint Forces Command’s Joint Futures Laboratory (JFL) and a host of other military agencies reportedly spent more than a year attempting to hack 100 prototype units of the Location Specific Digital Fingerprint (LSDF) system invented in 2000 at the Boca-based Digital Authentication Technologies Inc. Their efforts to develop and test the ultimate anti-hacking device became public knowledge in a news release published last Monday on the military agency’s Web site.

“I have had every smart engineer I can get my hands on try to design a hack of their concept and product,” Tony Cerri, JFL’s head of engineering, wrote in a recent e-mail. “The one individual that thought he had an effective attack stopped when he realized he’d have to take over the entire [Federal Communications Commission] architecture to do the hack.”

“The mathematical chance of hacking the system is astronomical,” said Dr. Dube, a former Cal Tech professor and IBM physicist. “To log in, you would need to have my fingerprints, my smart card, etc., and be at my computer during the hours when I’m supposed to be working there.”
