DESCRIPTION:The presentation will include a detailed review regarding the 
 protection of high security facilities\, including airports and aircraft\,
  power transmission facilities\, and computer server rooms. The emphasis w
 ill be on liability and security issues that may result from an undue reli
 ance on certain high security locking systems and technology. I will discu
 ss a number of misconceptions and why these facilities may be at risk\, ev
 en with some of the most sophisticated physical access hardware and softwa
 re.\n\n \n\nSpecific problems inherent in conventional locking hardware wi
 ll be the primary focus\, together with an analysis of high security mecha
 nical locks and electronic access control systems produced by many of the 
 Assa Abloy companies. These technologies include the Cliq\, Logic\, and Ne
 xGen among others. The representations of certain manufacturers will be an
 alyzed\, and potential vulnerabilities in these high-tech systems will be 
 explored\, together with the liability that may flow to users if these sys
 tems are circumvented.\n\n \n\nSince the publication of _OPEN IN THIRTY SE
 CONDS_\, which details the compromise of Medeco high security locks (2008)
 \, intensive research has been on-going in the U.S. and Europe regarding t
 he security of different electronic access control systems. The results wi
 ll be included in the new supplement to our book. These potential security
  issues will be examined in Dubai and will be explored in depth in the upc
 oming supplement\, and later this year in future presentations.\n\nRoss An
 derson wrote the forward for Mr. Tobias' book\, which can be purchased her
