"John Daugman, Cambridge-based pioneer of iris recognition told an audience of sixty security professionals, lawyers, and privacy advocates last night: "It is Orwellian to base a political campaign on disinformation". Daugman had in his sights the LSE report, published in July, critical of the UK government's identity cards scheme. Daugman and Davies were speaking at a seminar at the University of London?s Institute of Advanced Legal Studies on understanding the technological and legal issues surrounding the UK government's proposed introduction of ID cards. The other speakers were Stephen Harrison, Deputy Director of theID Cards Programme, at the Home Office; Professor Fred Piper, Information Security Group, Royal Holloway, University of London; and Gareth Crossman, solicitor, and Director of Policy at Liberty."
