U.S. military tries to solve identity theft with Boca-based cyber technology

The U.S. military is seeking the ultimate answer to identity theft and Internet hacking in a physics-based cyber security system secretly developed five years ago in a private Boca Raton laboratory, officials close to the partnership said this weekend. A team of top war games scientists from NSA, the U.S. Joint Forces Command's Joint Futures Laboratory (JFL) and a host of other military agencies reportedly spent more than a year attempting to hack 100 prototype units of the Location Specific Digital Fingerprint (LSDF) system invented in 2000 at the Boca-based Digital Authentication Technologies Inc. Their efforts to develop and test the ultimate anti-hacking device became public knowledge in a news release published last Monday on the military agency's Web site.
