Japanese bank taps NEC for document security using
RFID
NEC claims this is the world's first system to use RFID this way
News Story by Paul Kallender
AUGUST 18, 2004 (IDG NEWS SERVICE) - TOKYO -- NEC Corp. has signed a contract with a Japanese bank
for an RFID-based document management system, the company said yesterday.
The system, which NEC claims is the world's first to use radio frequency identification for this
function, will be introduced by Bank of Nagoya Ltd. in April 2005, NEC said. Bank of Nagoya is
a regional bank in central Japan. Financial details of the agreement weren't disclosed.

U.S. banks balk at data classification
A Canadian initiative for security leads the way
News Story by Jaikumar Vijayan and Lucas Mearian
AUGUST 16, 2004 (COMPUTERWORLD) - An initiative by several leading Canadian banks to develop
standards for data classification has shined an unwanted spotlight on U.S. banks, which appear to be unwilling
to follow suit.
A working draft of Canada's common data-sensitivity classification scheme is expected to be
released by year's end, said Robert Garigue, coordinator of the initiative and chief information
security officer at Toronto-based Bank of Montreal.

Harmonic convergence
Baltimore's music history comes alive under the direction of Elizabeth
Schaaf, Peabody Institute's archivist.
By Tim Smith
Sun Music Critic
Originally published August 15, 2004
Elizabeth Schaaf is a very slender woman. That's not an insignificant factor when she's
trying to maximize every available cubic inch of a station wagon to haul an impossible
amount of archival material. "You wouldn't believe how much you can load into a
Volvo if you try," she says.
Schaaf has had numerous occasions to demonstrate that adaptability during her
remarkable 22-year tenure as the first and only archivist of the Peabody Institute.
Just last month, for example, she got a call from the management at the Morris A.
Mechanic Theatre, which a few days earlier had already sent over a moving van
stuffed with 37 years' worth of archives that no one wanted anymore.
