At least he asked. As absurd as it may seem, I've actually seen places get away with murder in picking and choosing what they thought were the regs they fell under and willingly turned a blind eye to the rest, and gotten away with it. Cordless devices are cool, but he's right, you need to pull out all the INFOSEC regs and run a risk assessment on it (even tough reading through all them will take some time) . Let the people who implement policy at the upper levels take the heat if anything goes wrong.. -Stacy -----Original Message----- From: James Lee Gromoll [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Saturday, September 14, 2002 3:49 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: RF Keyboards ummmm.... I saw the dot mil address... and can't help but give you what my 20 plus years of military computing background says, "You must be high." Sorry, not trying to be an agitator, but rf keyboards and mice are a security hole as big as the Grand Canyon. The only acceptable place to use them are places were RF emission beyond the walls of the space you are in is assured, which is a pretty slick trick anyhow. My advice, if you really think you would like to use the cordless stuff, would be to dig out all those INFOSEC regulations and run the thing through a risk assesment, then present it to your decision makers and let them do what they get paid for, make a decision and take the rap if its a bad one. jim >From: "Ogden, Earl" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: 'John Cronican' ><[EMAIL PROTECTED]>,"'[EMAIL PROTECTED]'" ><[EMAIL PROTECTED]>,[EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: RE: RF Keyboards >Date: Thu, 12 Sep 2002 14:25:21 -0700 > >Good Afternoon, > > Not sure about KB logging of a user, but I have found issues with >other RF devices.
