"We are not learning our lessons from the rash of computer break-ins over the past three years," warned Robert P. Campbell, President of Advanced Information Management, Incorporated (AIM) and one of our editorial advisors in remarks to the Armed Forces Communications and Electronics Association's Electronics and Physical Security Symposium in Philadelphia on 14 August, 1985. "Most organizations seriously believe the problem only concerns 'the other guy' and not them. When we report to a company that their name, the phone number of their computer, and that in some cases sensitive identifications and passwords have been circulated nationwide on electronic bulletin boards, they react with shock and There are serious financial losses being incurred.

A new security system to protect confidential data stored in the computer has now been developed by a leading Poole, UK based electronics company for use in any situation where RS232 or other communication terminals are used in conjunction with host computers. The TS300 has been developed by Time and Data Systems Limited at their high tech plant and is considered to be one of the most advanced systems for enhancing computer protection now available. The high security factor is obtained by the use of infra-red coded cards, similar to credit cards, but using high integrity infra-red technology instead of the more conventional magnetic strip. 'Ihe
