Google does find "yoav stern" in israel, but he's a correspondent for Ha'aretz. 2 - The page for "basic technical information" has two other links associated with it "measurement method": http://www.i-mature.net/content.php?id=53&tno=7 <http://www.i-mature.net/content.php?id=53&tno=7> "Physiological Background of the Technology": http://www.i-mature.net/content.php?id=45&tno=7 <http://www.i-mature.net/content.php?id=45&tno=7> Both require a password. A request for the password was met wtih the reply "we won't give it to you until we meet you." 3 - RSA's involvement seems to be limited to the provision of the security architecture for the system, though prominent people within RSA are quoted in approviing ways. 4 - An email from I-mature states that "i-Mature was selected for the 2005 Congressional Internet Caucus Kick Off Technology Fair & Reception <http://www.netcaucus.org/> to demonstrate its innovative technology for US Congress policymakers, staffers, industry executives and public interest advocates Some of the other demonstrators selected were: Microsoft, Sony, eBay, Ericsson Fujitsu, , VeriSign, SAP, and many more." I note without further comment thta none of these latter companies have anything to do witih i-mature, but the placement in the email seems to imply that i-mature is in the same league. 5 - They claim to be exhibting at the Eighth Annual Kickoff Tech Fair & Reception of the Congressional Internet Caucus, which is tomorrow. February 9, 2005 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm Dirksen Building, SDG-50 People from the Wash DC area might wish to go there to ask some questions. RSVP to rsvp () netcaucus org or 202-638-4370. ------ End of Forwarded Message ------------------------------------- You are subscribed as lists-ip () insecure org To manage your subscription, go to http://v2.listbox.com/member/?listname=ip Archives at: http://www.interesting-people.org/archives/interesting-people/
