A novel multimodal hand database for biometric authentication
By Technical Paper Link - 30 Mar, 2022 - Comments: 0

Abstract "Biometric authentication is one of the most exciting areas in the era of security. Biometric authentication ideally refers to the process of identifying or verifying the user through physiological and behavioral measurements using security processes. Multimodal biometrics are preferred over unimodal biometrics due to the defensive nature of multimodal biometrics. This research intr... » read more

Authentication In The IoT Age
By Marc Canel - 30 Jan, 2020 - Comments: 0

We all know passwords are a problem. We have too many of them to remember, but too many of them are reused to make them secure. No surprise that they are the root cause of the vast majority of data breaches. Fortunately, clever minds are working at ways to replace them and they have come together to create the FIDO (Fast IDentity Online) Alliance. The FIDO Alliance was created in 2013 to de... » read more

Dawn Of The Data-Centric Era
By Lara Chamness - 31 Jan, 2018 - Comments: 0

A recurring theme of the recent Industry Strategy Symposium (ISS) in Half Moon Bay, California, was how the explosion of new applications such as autonomous vehicles, digital healthcare, quantum computing, and crytocurrency mining are driving the need for more industry-wide collaboration to enable companies to compete in the “Data Centric” era. The resulting digital economy is creating unpr... » read more

Chaos, Progress In Mobile Payment Security
By Gale Morrison - 02 Feb, 2017 - Comments: 0

Semiconductor suppliers and their embedded software partners, internally and externally, have made tremendous strides in recent years supporting secure mobile payment processing. It hasn't been easy. Or simple. And it's still evolving. The result of those efforts, which is now set to play an increasingly important and widespread commercial role in 2017, are trusted execution environment t... » read more

Fingerprint Sensor Technology And Security Requirements
By David S. Hsu - 03 Nov, 2016 - Comments: 0

Biometrics is a technology that uses a human’s biological features, such as facial characteristics, fingerprint patterns, retina, DNA or behaviors (voice and signature) to authenticate a person’s identification and authorize specific actions. Of all of them, fingerprint analysis technology is the most mature and has the widest acceptance. Several factors contribute to fingerprint technol... » read more

Smartphone Security: For Your Eyes Only

The 90-second long commercial is a delight to watch, but it must have cost Samsung some serious bucks to produ... » read more

What Is Cyberwarfare?
By Ernest Worthman - 08 Feb, 2016 - Comments: 1

Cyberwarfare is emerging as the most sophisticated battleground of the 21st century. In fact, the military in all major countries make it a priority. Collectively they are spending tens of billions of dollars on education and building a knowledgebase of how attacks can be perpetrated and what defenses are needed. The entire effort is based on technology, both legacy and new, starting on the ... » read more

Using DNA Differently
By Ernest Worthman - 03 Dec, 2015 - Comments: 0

As the Internet of Everything creeps closer and closer, technologies from wireless to biometrics are undergoing metamorphosis. On the biometrics front, there is a vast array of applications, from fingerprints to facial recognition—even finger vein recognition. But the one that is garnering a lot of attention these days is DNA sequencing, and a subset called rapid DNA sequencing. Both are b... » read more
