CHAPTER II - REPORT SYNOPSIS
Security technologies include protection of secret messages and guarding of products and people against
counterfeiting and impersonation. Steganography and cryptography are concerned with hiding information,
while holography, barcoding and retinal scanning are techniques developed for combating counterfeiting
and impersonation.
Protection
Protection of secret messages
Steganography: The art and science of writing hidden or covered messages is referred as steganography. In
steganography the visible apparent message is referred to as the cover text, which may be depicted as a
picture, a list, an article etc. The hidden message may be in the form of invisible ink interpolated between
the visible lines of the document. Prior to the development of cryptographic techniques, steganography
was popular and widely used in ancient times, though the method had certain drawbacks.
Herodotus, the Greek Historian of 5th century BC and regarded as Father of History, cited two examples of
steganography in his treatise ‘The Histories of Herodotus’. Wax tablets are wooden planks coated with wax
and were used for writing with stylus in those times. In fact, Demeratus sent a message about the
anticipated attack on Greece by writing on a wooden plank and covering with wax to conceal the message.
Histiaeus, a tyrant of Miletus, in 6th century BC, used steganography in a peculiar way. He tattooed a
message on the head of a slave, and this message was concealed when the hair grew. The slave was sent to
his son-in-law Aristagoras, who shaved the slave’s head to read the message that conveyed the instructions
to revolt against Persians. Johannes Trithemius, who was an occult and abbot of Germany, wrote a book
known as Steganographia in 1499. This book was earlier considered to be about black magic, but later on
found to be about steganography and cryptography.
Cryptography: Cryptography is the science of hiding information. Encryption has been in vogue right from
ancient times, but was used earlier only by individuals and organizations that had the necessity. Encryption
and decryption of secret messages played vital role in World War II, and many of the methods to produce
them were kept highly confidential. The application of cryptography for public utility purposes emerged
only after US Data Encryption Standard and public key cryptography were introduced.
The one-time pad is an encryption algorithm. In this method of encryption, the plain text is combined with
a random key or pad of equal length and is used only once. Only the persons who possess the key would be
able to differentiate the cipher [hidden] texts from random [normal] texts. Nowadays, in the majority of
cryptosystems, private symmetric session keys are made perfectly random. [In symmetric session, same key
is used for encryption and decryption]. Therefore, even in weak ones [shorter than 128 bits], the messages
are safely concealed.

IV. PRODUCT/TECHNOLOGY RESEARCH
Need for Security System
Industrial espionage created panic among the companies that promote biotechnology research and
development. Certain outcome of commendable research works by brilliant scientists helps to save millions
of lives, and eventually brings tremendous monetary benefits to the companies that promote the research
works. However, a small information leakage or a single process error may cause catastrophe. This has
driven the companies to search for proper security with best access control and monitoring system.
Especially, when a company shifts its employees from a multi-tenant building to its own premises, security
becomes a top priority.
Aspects of Security System
The security system involves the following aspects: 1. Conforming to the universal regulations and ensuring
the safety of employees. 2. Protection to people, and not to the products and intellectual property alone. 3.
Not corporate security, but company security; voice, physical, product and data security.
Many companies adopt different security standards for various purposes. There is a rising importance for
security of a company and hence the budgets for the same grew dramatically in the past few years.
Security is a concern also for the pharmaceutical companies and for efficient security, sophisticated
instruments play a vital role. Security is divided into various fragments such as, physical security, IT,
business continuity, crisis management, contingency planning etc., but a comprehensive security needs to
be in place for efficient and effective security management.
Standard organizations may take up wholesome responsibilities for developing a worldwide security policy,
strengthening infrastructure, offering IT security, preventing employee theft, creating security awareness
among employees by proper training strategies, risk management, and overall crisis management.
Cost of Security System
The expense for the security is dependent on the company’s objective. The overall cost for security has
increased over the years, and is expected to further increase on par with the growth of the pharmaceutical
companies. Therefore, a standard code of security is suggested to the pharmaceutical industries to save
expenditure in this regard.
Though several security organizations meet at occasions, common security strategies to be adopted are
never discussed, and problems associated with them are not solved. Therefore, a need for such facility is
felt to improve the overall efficiency of security systems.

Security System for Pharmaceutical Companies
Generally, the physical security is quite adequate in all pharmaceutical companies, though the standard and
level may vary.
Designing proprietary system, services, and technologies helps in the speedy production of new medicines.
Scientists opine that integration of novel fluorescence chemistry, molecular biology, nanotechnology,
informatics, and automation reduce the time taken for identifying compounds that are incorporated into
the novel drugs. This indicates that the security system should be tightened at different levels in order to
ensure the integrity of production processes of such novel drugs.
Problem of Counterfeit Medicines
Counterfeit medicine poses a big health hazard to the public and is presently a worldwide problem. The
counterfeit medicines simulate genuine medicines in the way they are packed either in the form of tablets
or capsules. They do not actually contain the proper effective ingredients, and, on the contrary, may
contain toxic components. Occasionally such counterfeit medicines contain active ingredients, though they
are high quality fakes. But, still, they are unreliable because their basic source is illegal and uncertain, and
deserve to be discouraged.
Virtually, medicines for any ailment have been forged. Fake medicines are produced illegally for cancer,
hypertension, and pain. Forged antibiotics, cholesterol reducing drugs, hormones, steroids, and
antihistamines are all available in the market. This situation is especially true for developing countries,
where counterfeited medicines are illegally marketed even for life threatening diseases such as AIDS,
malaria, and tuberculosis.
Regular therapeutic use of such substandard or harmful medicines may lead to drug resistance or even
death. Therefore, an urgent necessity is to take stringent security measures to curtail the manufacture of
counterfeit medicines.
