As and ex-pat IT contractor, I just moved from Belgium to the Netherlands. Although my Bank operates in both countries I find it nigh impossible to move my account or open a new one.

In June 2002 I was interviewed by Computing Magazine. This resulted in a widely quoted headline “Users must wait for PKI benefits”. Where are we today seven years later? What has been your experience? Join discussion...

Why do you think natural candidates for a non government on-line identity scheme like telecom operators and/or banks seem so reluctant to go for a potentially huge market opportunity in on-line identity verification ? Join discussion...

According to a ruling by the European Court of Human Rights in the case S. and Marper v. the United Kingdom the government has till March the fourth to respond how they will comply. Will they put everyone in the UK on the data base? If they start erasing the records of innocent people wrongfully held, will this be like clearing King August's stables? What should we wattch out for? Join discussion...

I am really disappointed in the guardian with regard to the content of the Dec 5 article titled: “How traces linked killers to victims in high-profile cases” Here we have a ruling about the removal of the DNA of innocent people and without exception every example of so called DNA convictions apply to people who are convicted criminals or matching DNA during an investigation, when such DNA samples can be held legally by the police. It’s about the innocent Stupid! You may well realize this, but what’s left imprinted on the minds of the no so discerning is that the ruling is somehow detrimental to public safety. All the statistics from Scotland, where they do routinely erase DNA records of the innocent, point out this need definitely not be the case! By repeating meaningless statistics from APCO, like 200,000 DNA samples leading to 14,000 matches to crime scenes, the Guardian only serves the Home Office propaganda machine. Which Guardian journalist actually will rebut those figures by asking to how many court convictions were obtained by the police using DNA samples held in contravention of the December 4th ECJ ruling? You will find the answer much nearer to a humbling 187 extra convictions! And for this we need to have our civil liberties eroded? Where is the balance in this article? Join discussion...

Justice at last: DNA retention of DNA samples of ‘innocent people’ deemed to be unlawful by EUROPEAN COURT OF HUMAN RIGHTS. Well done for S. and Marper and their diligent lwgal representatives Howells Join discussion...
