(InfoWorld) - A shareholder lawsuit against Hewlett-Packard (HP) forÂ attempting to spy on board members and reportersÂ has been expanded to include charges of insider stock trading. An amended complaint filed Wednesday in the Superior Court of California for Santa Clara County accuses HP Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Mark Hurd and seven other company executives of selling $41.3 million worth of HP stock at "inflated prices" shortly before the company revealed that its investigators had used questionable and possibly illegal techniques to gain access to personal records such as phone call logs. The eight executives sold 1.7 million shares of stock between Aug. 21 and Sept. 6, according to the lawsuit. In an Aug. 31 filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), HP said an outside investigator used the practice of pretexting, pretending to be someone else, to gain access to personal records. Former HP Chairman Patricia Dunn and four others face criminal charges stemming from their alleged participation in the spying, which also used e-mail tracer technology, according to testimony before a U.S. congressional committee. HP also tried to prop up the value of its stock price by announcing on Aug. 21 it would repurchase $6 billion worth of its stock, the lawsuit says. "In the midst of this acrimony HP executives cashed in," says the complaint, filed by the Lerach, Coughlin, Stoia, Geller, Rudman & Robbins LLP law firm. HP issued a statement calling the lawsuit "baseless." The lawsuit "represents a transparent effort to exploit issues related to HP's recent investigation for personal gain at the expense of HP, its shareholders and its employees," the statement said. "HP will defend itself vigorously." HP acknowledged that it had obtained the phone records of 12 people by using pretexting. The stockholder lawsuit, originally filed in September, asks the court to declare that HP's executives have "committed breaches of their fiduciary duties" and to order executives to repay the amount the company has been damaged by the spying scandal. The lawsuit also asks the court to require HP to reform its corporate governance and to extract punitive damages from Dunn, Hurd and other HP executives.

(InfoWorld) - Hewlett-PackardÂ has developed technology at its lab in Bangalore, India,Â that secures paper documents against fraud and integrates paper documents with electronic processes by allowing paper to be used as a medium for data transfer. Paper documents will never go away, and this is not unique to India, said S. Ramani, director for science and technology, at HP Labs India on Thursday. The requirement to authenticate paper documents can hamper the velocity of business, Ramani said. Very often a paper document, like a college transcript or a driving license, has to be sent back to the issuing authority for authentication or to ensure that there has been no change in status after the document was issued, he added. HP Labs India has instead developed technology it calls Trusted Hardcopy that embeds information contained in the paper document in a 2D (two-dimensional) barcode printed at the back of the paper document. Using software developed by the lab, the barcode can be read by a standard scanner, and the information verified online on a Web site set up by the authority issuing the paper document, or an independent verification agency. In a pilot program that HP Labs India is running with the International Institute of Information Technology, Bangalore (IIIT-B) students graduating from the institute were issued transcripts with the barcodes printed on them. âOur software is integrated with the database, so that whenever a mark sheet is printed from the database, the software issues a barcode which is inserted into it,â said K.S.R. Anjaneyulu, department director at the lab. The certificates issued by IIIT-B can be now scanned and verified for their authenticity on an institute Web site. If the document or the barcode has been tampered with, this will be revealed when it is compared with the document stored on the instituteâs database, Ramani said. Using the 2D barcode also removes the need to manually input the data from paper documents into an electronic system, as the data can be read from the barcode printed on the paper. âBy embedding the information from the paper document in the barcode, we are preventing information in paper documents from getting disconnected from the rest of the system,â Anjaneyulu said. The new technology is effectively ânetworking the paper world," he added. The technology can also be used by agencies like the government to issue authenticated documents online. The document with the barcode can be then printed by the person requesting the document, Ramani said. HPâs business units are interested in commercializing Trusted Hardcopy, Ramani said. HP Labs India is also working on new applications of the technology such as using mobile phones with built-in cameras to take a snap of a barcode, for example on a driver's license, and transmitting the image on the mobile service channel for verification and updating. As part of HP Labs India's research in the area of pen-based interfaces, the lab has developed a stylus sensitive touch-pad, called the âgesture-based keyboard,â that enables users to enter text in the Devnagri script used in many Indian languages, using a combination of tapping and gestures.
