Quick "Oh for f***'s Sake" Moment

Tuesday, June 14, 2005 at 5:57 PM

"Citizen Cards" are a new exciting form of photo ID that people can use to prove their age/who they are to be able to get into ID strict festivals like Glastonbury.

As mentioned, you use them to prove who you are.

So, it would make sense for the online "Fast Track" ID request form (for Glasto access next week) to be secure, right? You know, maybe not 1024 bit encryption, but at least say 256 bit?

Try zero bits.

Yep, if you apply for a card for Glastonbury at http://www.citizencard.com, it's all in glorious, unencrypted, insecure HTTP.

Such tasties as your full address, mobile + home number, education history, Doctor and credit card details are needed.

I think a message to Citizencard is required:

A message to citizencard.com

Needless to say, I'm going to bring another form of ID to Glastonbury.
