Active Impostor Acceptance

When dealing with biometric data for identification purposes rather than purely for control purposes, there is always a risk that the system will identify the wrong person positively. That risk is made as small as possible for obvious reasons, but sometimes there are individuals actively trying to be misidentified in order to gain access under false pretences. With a control-based biometric system too, there are times when some individuals will wish to utterly fool the interface into believing they are a different user – and thus having it vouch for their identity in interaction with other processes.

Active Imposter Acceptance refers to one of these eventualities. More specifically, it refers to a person actively planting a false identity template into the system, so that when the unauthorised person uses the biometric scanners, without compromising the scanned data, the person matches an approved user on the system and is accepted.

Will Never (Active Worlds)
The Will Never series each look at one virtual world administration, and things they say they will never do, or have discovered do not work, and will never do again. They make an interesting comparison between the major social VR experiences, and their relative levels of success.

Artificial Hydroapatite
Hydroapatite is a naturally occurring mineral. It is a form of calcium apatite and makes up around 70% of the internal structure of human bones and teeth. Lightweight, strong, and flexible, it is an ideal material for supporting active limbs.

Information Theoretic Death
In the purely physical world, death is a straightforward thing: You are either alive, or you are not. When you add in the purely virtual, heavily interconnected worlds of cyberspace, that model changes drastically. When do you deem someone to be irredeemably dead, if part of their mind is active and self-modifying online?
