InfoWorld - A U.S. security expert is suing the Japanese government for &#165;30 million (&#36;291,000) for allegedly censoring his criticisms of Japan's online citizens registry database, called Juki Net. In a lawsuit filed against Japan's Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, Ejovi Nuwere, CTO of SecurityLab Technologies, in Boston, alleged that the ministry stopped him from making a presentation in which he planned to discuss his concerns about the security of the database. Juki Net has been surrounded by controversy, particularly over security concerns, since before its launch in 2003. Nuwere was one of three experts hired by the government to test the security of the system. The experts successfully managed to compromise servers in part of the system. Nuwere had intended to describe these experiences in his talk.
