Type of publication: Report, Nanoforum publication
Abstract: Security is becoming an increasingly important facet of global society. The issues are many-fold and include protecting citizens and state from organized crime, preventing terrorist acts, and responding to natural and man-made disasters.
Summary: This report describes nanotechnology applications for civil security and divides this into four broad sections: • detection, including imaging, sensors and sensor networks for the detection of pathogens and chemicals; • protection, including decontamination equipment and filters, and personal protection; • identification, including anti-counterfeiting and authentication, forensics, quantum cryptography and the market for counterfeit and grey goods; • societal impacts, including current regulatory and ethical frameworks, potential impacts on ethics and human rights, and public perception. The report concludes with a summary of the Nanoforum workshop on “Nanotechnology for Security” and describes some of the activities that are taking place in the EU Member States.
