Password entry through keyboard is a risk?

It was interesting to know from today's morning news on WWJ 950AM, that Researchers at University of California, Berkeley say that a password can be decrypted (or retrieved) by recording the sound made by the keys while typing the password. This sound will then be analyzed and the password is guessed based on the fact that the sound made by each of the different keys on the keyboard is different.

Rewriting import declarations while migrating from Lighthouse to SunIdM

One problem that occured while setting up a build process for an IdM project (previously existed in the Lighthouse Version 4.1 SP2) in SunIdM (Version 5.0 SP5) was that the compiler continuosly complained about the "EncryptedData" class which was extensively used in the project. This is because the EncryptedData Class existed in the lighthouse.jar file, is now moved to the "com.waveset.util" package in the idmcommon.jar file provided by the Identity Manager. So, one needs to rewrite all the import declarations in the resource adpaters while considering a migration from older version of the identity manager (Lighthouse) to the Sun IdM, to reflect this modification.
