Red Tacton is a technology developed by NTT that uses the human body as a transmission medium for data. It works by inducing extremely weak electric fields on the surface of the body through transceivers. Changes in these electric fields caused by one transceiver are detected by another through an optical sensor. This allows for data transfer speeds of up to 10Mbps through handshakes, touching devices, or walking on embedded surfaces. It provides a way to initiate wireless data transfer through natural human movements without additional devices or cables.

Red Tacton is a new technology developed by NTT that uses the human body as a network transmission path at speeds of up to 10 Mbps. It functions by generating weak electric fields on the skin's surface that modulate optical properties of an electro-optic crystal in the transceiver to transmit data. The system is safe for the human as no current flows into the body, and only causes displacement current from electric fields interacting with skin electrons. Potential applications include secure authentication, device personalization through touch, and acting as an alternative to short-range wireless systems.

Abstract Human society is entering an era of ubiquitous computing, when networks are seamlessly interconnected and information is always accessible at our fingertips. In the world of computers, networking is the practice of linking two or more computing devices together for the purpose of sharing data. Red Tacton is emerging technology that enables the first practical HAN (Human Area Network)between body-centered electronic devices and PCs or other network devices embedded in the environment via a new generation of user interface based on totally natural human actions such as touching, holding, sitting, walking, or stepping on a particular spot. By making Human Area Networks feasible, Red Tacton will enable ubiquitous services based on human centered interactions and therefore more intimate and easier for people to use.

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...Alex Pruden
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.
Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation ParametersSafe Software
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.

1. INTRODUCTION:
Don't have a LAN connection, use your body…………
Forget LAN or Bluetooth here's a way to turn you into a walking talking file transfer machine.
Human society is entering an era of ever-present computing, when networks are seamlessly
interconnected and information is always accessible at our fingertips. The practical implementation of
ubiquitous services requires three levels of connectivity:
Wide Area Networks (WAN), typically via the Internet, to remotely connect all types of severs
and terminals;
Local Area Networks (LAN), typically via Ethernet or WiFi connectivity among all the
information and communication appliances in offices and homes; and
Human Area Networks (HAN) for connectivity to personal information, media and
communication appliances within the much smaller sphere of ordinary daily activities-- the last
one meter.
Human area network is basically an interconnection of information technology devices within the
range of an individual. This technology creates an external electric field that passes an incredibly
small current which is general of about one thousandth of an ampere. Red Tacton, a new Human
Area Networking technology uses the surface of the human body as a safe, high speed network
transmission path. Red Tacton takes a different technical approach.
BACKGROUND:
At the end of 2002 the Japanese telecommunications group NTT had announced that it would develop a
new data transmission technology that uses the conductive properties of the human body to exchange
information between electronic devices. Hence Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation (NTT)
developed technology that uses the human body as a high-speed network. And called it “RED
TACTON” What’s more, it also forms a communications link between people and electronic devices
NTT's RedTacton is a break-through technology that, for the first time, enables reliable high-speed
HAN. In the past, Bluetooth, infrared communications (IrDA), radio frequency ID systems (RFID), and
other technologies have been proposed to solve the "last meter" connectivity problem. However, they
each have various fundamental technical limitations that constrain their usage, such as the precipitous
fall-off in transmission speed in multi-user environments producing network congestion. This is the first
viable Human Area Network (HAN) device, enabling fast data transfer between devices using the
human body as a conduit.
1
2. What is RED TACTON?
RedTacton is a new Human Area Networking technology that uses the surface of the human body as a
safe, high speed network transmission path. RedTacton takes a different technical approach. Instead of
relying on electromagnetic waves or light waves to carry data, RedTacton uses weak electric fields on
the surface of the body as a transmission medium. A RedTacton transmitter couples with extremely
weak electric fields on the surface of the body. The weak electric fields pass through the body to a
RedTacton receiver, where the weak electric fields affect the optical properties of an electro-optic
crystal. The extent to which the optical properties are changed is detected by laser light which is then
converted to an electrical signal by a detector circuit. –Red Tacton uses the minute electric field emitted
on the surface of the human body. Technically, it is completely distinct from wireless and infrared. A
transmission path is formed at the moment a part of the human body comes in contact with a Red Tacton
transceiver. Physically separating ends the contact and thus ends communication. Using Red Tacton,
communication starts when terminals carried by the user or embedded in devices are linked in various
combinations according to the user's natural, physical movements. Communication is possible using any
body surfaces, such as the hands, fingers, arms, feet, face, legs or torso. Red Tacton works through shoes
and clothing as well.
2
3. PRINCIPLE WORKING:
Red Tacton utilizes a point to point network, known as a piconet. The P2P network allows information
to be exchanged between two transceivers without the need for a server to store or process information.
Red Tacton operates on the idea that optical properties of an electro optic crystal can vary according to
the changes of a person own electric field. After contact with another Red Tacton enabled device, the
transmitter one wears induces an electric field on the body. Next, the transceiver on the device detects
changes in the wearer’s electric field which was caused by the device. The devices then communicate
and send data by inducing fluctuations in the electric field of the human body. Data is received using a
photonic electric field sensor that combines an electro-optic crystal and a laser light to detect
fluctuations in the minute electric field.
Ea: ELECTRIC FIELD induced towards the body
Eb: ELECTRIC FIELD Induced from body
Ec: ELECTRIC FIELD escaping from body to ground
Es: ELECTRIC FIELD that reaches receiver i.e. ES=EA-
(EB+EC)
Imagine holding your digital camera in one hand and touching a printer with your other which
initiates the transfer of images from your camera to your printer. In an instant you have
downloaded your pictures and are ready to print them out without the need for connecting cables and
intermediary devices such as a computer.
3
4. The transmitter sends data based on fluctuations in the weak electric field induced in the body. The
electric field is received using super-sensitive electric field sensing technology. The naturally occurring
electric field induced on the surface of the human body dissipates into the earth. Therefore, this electric
field is exceptionally faint and unstable. The super-sensitive electric field sensing technology measures
the weak electric fields induced by the super-efficient alternating electric field induction.
The three major functional features of Red Tacton are highlighted below.
A communications path can be created with a simple touch, automatically initiating the flow of
data between a body-centric electronic device and a computer that is embedded in the
environment. For example, two people equipped with Red Tacton devices could exchange data
just by shaking hands. A wide range of natural human actions -- grasping, sitting down, walking,
or standing in a particular place -- can be used to trigger Red Tacton to start a networked process.
Using a Red Tacton electro-optic sensor, two-way communication is supported between any two
points on the body at a throughput of up to 10 Mbps. Communication is not just confined to the
surface of the body, but can travel through the user's clothing to a Red Tacton device in a pocket
or through shoes to communicate with a Red Tacton device embedded in the floor. The
transmission speed does not deteriorate even in the presence of large crowds of people all
communicating at the same time in meeting rooms, auditoriums etc. Because the body surface is
the transmission path, increasing the number of connected users directly increases the available
number of individual communication channels.
Red Tacton can utilize a wide range of materials as a transmission medium, as long as the
material is conductive and dielectric, which includes water and other liquids, various metals,
certain plastics, glass, etc. Using ordinary structures such as tables and walls that are familiar and
readily available, one could easily construct a seamless communication environment at very low
cost using Red Tacton
4
5. BLOCK DIAGRAM OF RED TACTON TRANCIEVER:
The transceivers use an optical sensor to interpret fluctuations in the electric field of the human body
through the use of a miniature laser and a crystal mounted in the transceiver. The weak electric fields
that exist around many kinds of objects - including metals, many plastics, glass, ceramics and liquids -
make communication between transceivers possible. The system is able to work through socks, shoes
and gloves, and on both dry and oily skin. A person equipped with a sensor can exchange data with
another person carrying a sensor by shaking hands, and between a person and a device by touching it,
walking on it, or by sitting on it.
Receiving data is more complicated because the strength of the electric field involved is so low. Red
Tacton gets around this using a technique called electric field photonics: A laser is passed though an
electro-optic crystal, which deflects light differently according to the strength of the field across it.
These deflections are measured and converted back into electrical signals to retrieve the transmitted data
.Using a new super-sensitive photonic electric field sensor, Red Tacton can achieve duplex
communication over the human body at a maximum speed of 10 Mbps.
The transceivers, which require a PCMCIA card to connect with an electronic device, use several
hundred mili watts of power and are insulated to avoid electric shocks.
5
6. FEATURES:
Red Tacton supports following 3 features:
TOUCH:
Touching, gripping, sitting, walking, stepping and other human movements can be the triggers
for unlocking or locking, starting or stopping equipment, or obtaining data. Using Red Tacton,
communication starts when terminals carried by the user or embedded in devices are linked in
various combinations through physical contact according to the human's natural movements.
BROADBAND AND INTERACTIVE:
Duplex, interactive communication is possible at a maximum speed of 10Mbps*. Bandwidth
doesn’t deteriorate even if many users access simultaneously. Because the transmission path is
on the surface of the body, transmission speed does not deteriorate in congested areas where
many people are communicating at the same time. Maximum communication speed may be
slower than 10Mbps depending on the usage environment.
ANY MEDIA:
In addition to the human body, various conductors and dielectrics can be used as transmission
media. Conductors and dielectrics may also be used in combination.
6
7. WHY RED TACTON?
Several “human body communication” technologies using the human body as a transmission medium
have been reported in the past. But Red Tacton employs a proprietary electric field/photonics method
which uses a sensor which measures faint electric fields by using a laser beam to detect fluctuations in
the optical properties of an electro-optic crystal that are caused by peripheral electric fields.
Human body networking is more secure than broadcast systems, such as Bluetooth, which have a
range of about 10m. With Bluetooth and IrDA, it is difficult to rein in the signal and restrict it to
the device you are trying to connect to. You usually want to communicate with one particular thing,
but in a busy place there could be hundreds of Bluetooth devices within range. As human beings are
ineffective aerials, it is very hard to pick up stray electronic signals radiating from the body. This is
good for security because even if you encrypt data it is still possible that it could be decoded, but if you
can’t pick it up it can’t be.
Moreover, when we compare red Tacton with wireless LAN we find red tacton to transfer data at a
much faster speed than the LAN because the transmission path is on the surface of the body,
transmission speed does not deteriorate in congested areas where many people are communicating at the
same time
The focus on ever-present service has brought about the shortening of distances in communication. Red
Tacton is positioned as the last 1m solution to ultimate close-range communication. Wireless
communication creates connections when signals arrive, allowing for easy connections because
connectors are unnecessary. Wired communication transmits data between two connection points, so
interception is difficult and security can be considered to be high. However, connectors and cables are a
nuisance. In other words, Red Tacton allows for easy connection without connectors, while at the
same time allowing transmission of data only between two contact points. It thus has the feature of
being difficult to intercept.
7
8. POTENTIAL APPLICATIONS:
One-to-One Services
With the ability to send attribute data from personal information devices worn on the body to cmputers
embedded in the environment, one-to-one services could be implemented that are tailored to the
individual
Intuitive operation of personal information devices
The current is generated by the electrons in the body because the body is subjected to minute electrical
fields. However, such displacement currents are very common everyday occurrences to which we are all
subjected RED TACTON conforms to the “Radio Frequency-Exposure Protection Standard (RCR STD-
38)” [6] issued by the Association of Radio Industries and Business (ARIB). The levels produced by
RED TACTON are well below the safety limit specified by this standard.
Communication is triggered by totally natural human actions and behavior, so there is no need to insert
smart cards, connect cables, tune frequencies, or any of the other inconveniences usually associated with
today's needs of the user.
Device personalization
Setup, registration, and configuration information for an individual user can all uploaded to a device the
instant the device is touched, eliminating the need for the device to be registered or configured in
advance. Example: By shaking hands, personal profile data can be exchanged between mobile terminals
on the users.
New behavior patterns
Tables, walls, floors and chairs can all act as conductors and dielectrics, turning furniture and other
architectural elements into a new class of transmission medium. For example:
electronic devices
Security applications
Red Tacton could be installed on doors, cabinets and other locations calling for secure access, such that
each secure access could be initiated and authenticated with a simple touch. At the same time, all the
transaction details and relevant user attributes could be logged by the security system.
8
9. ADVANTAGES OF USING RED TACTON TRANCIEVER:
Uses the body’s electrical field to transmit at a high speed.
System can provide authentication and record who touched the device, and when
Digital lifestyle can be instantly personalized with just a touch.
Cable connections are eliminated the body itself is used as transmission medium.
Transmission speed is high up to 10 mbps.
Safe to use to transfer private information
HUMAN SAFETY:
NTT has investigated the effects of RED TACTON technology on human health, which is
obviously an important issue and it has been proved safe to use as:
o The transmitting and receiving ends of the red tacton devices are completely insulated, so
body of the person using the device is completely insulated without effecting the body
during transmitting the signal.
o When communication occurs displacement current is generated by electrons that are
present everywhere in human body.
o Body is subjected to minute electric fields so such displacement currents are common
everyday occurrences.The current used is one-billionth of an amp (one nanoamp), which
is lower than the natural currents already in the body.
9
10. OBSTACLES
Why aren't we using it? What are the obstacles?
Introduction of new technologies into existing devices often requires significant design changes
that can be costly and time consuming.
Red Tacton also needs a lot of research and development.
Many popular technologies exist in the marketplace which provides similar functions to Red
Tacton technology. The first is Bluetooth. Bluetooth is also a short range frequency allowing
users to transmit data within approximately a 10M range. Bluetooth, however, is insecure. The
signal can be tapped into and used by others. As mentioned previously, Zigbee, IrDA, and
UWB are also potential competitors.
The most obvious barrier to entry is that the cost and time to develop Personal Area network
technology is very expensive
This technology will not likely be very useful until a large number of people and devices have
adopted it which means a significant time investment.
10
11. CONCLUSION:
Human society is entering an era of ubiquitous computing, where everything is networked. RED
TACTON is an exciting new technology for human area networking.
Currently, Red Tacton is gearing up to compete with Bluetooth, Zigbee, IrDA (Infrared Data
Association), UWB (Ultra Wide Band), and other wireless communication forms. These competing
technologies are different in that they use radio frequency or light to transmit data short distances. They
also tend to work at slower speeds that Red Tacton which, as mentioned before, uses the body’s
electrical field to transmit at a high speed. Additionally, since Red Tacton requires touch and has a low
potential for interference, it is much more secure than the competition.
Many areas can benefit from this technology. Initially, Red Tacton could target security, the medical
field, and the device communication field. Red Tacton can be used for intuitive operation of computer-
based systems in daily life, temporary one-to-one private networks based on personal handshaking,
device personalization, security, and a host of other applications based on new behavior patterns enabled
by Red Tacton. By making Human Area Networks feasible, Red Tacton will enable ubiquitous services
based on human-centered interactions and therefore more intimate and easier for people to use.
