Identity Management with Biometrics. Explore the latest innovative solutions to provide secure identification and authentication

Lisa Bock

Biometric technologies provide a variety of robust and convenient methods to securely identify and authenticate an individual. Unlike a password or smart card, biometrics can identify an attribute that is not only unique to an individual, but also eliminates any possibility of duplication. Identity Management with Biometrics is a solid introduction for anyone who wants to explore biometric techniques, such as fingerprint, iris, voice, palm print, and facial recognition.Starting with an overview of biometrics, you’ll learn the various uses and applications of biometrics in fintech, buildings, border control, and many other fields. You’ll understand the characteristics of an optimal biometric system and then review different types of errors and discover the benefits of multi-factor authentication. You’ll also get to grips with analyzing a biometric system for usability and accuracy and understand the process of implementation, testing, and deployment, along with addressing privacy concerns. The book outlines the importance of protecting biometric data by using encryption and shows you which factors to consider and how to analyze them before investing in biometric technologies.By the end of this book, you’ll be well-versed with a variety of recognition processes and be able to make the right decisions when implementing biometric technologies.

IDENTYFIKACJA I PRZECIWDZIAŁANIE ZAGROŻENIOM W CYBERPRZESTRZENI - Pakiet 2 książki 1) MODELE ROZWIĄZAŃ PRAWNYCH W SYSTEMIE CYBERBEZPIECZEŃSTWA RP Przedmiotem zainteresowania Autorów stało się interdyscyplinarnie postrzegane cyberbezpieczeństwo, zaś badaniom poddano prawne i organizacyjne rozwiązania na rzecz efektywnego przeciwdziałania oraz zwalczania niebezpiecznych zachowań w cyberprzestrzeni. Wyzwaniem badawczym stały się także relacje pomiędzy systemem cyberbezpieczeństwa a systemem prawa i związanym z tym działaniem organów władzy publicznej. Ważne zagadnienie stanowiła również analiza prawno-administracyjnych uregulowań w zakresie ochrony danych osobowych oraz ochrony informacji w cyberprzestrzeni, a także odpowiedzialności karnej za naruszenie dóbr podlegających przedmiotowej ochronie. Prof. dr hab. Waldemar KITLER, ASZWOJ Publikacja wpisuje się w aktualny nurt nauk o cyberbezpieczeństwie i jest interdyscyplinarna, tak samo jak pojęcie i system cyberbezpieczeństwa, obejmując swoim zakresem prawo publiczne i prywatne. Istotą i tym co odróżnia ją o innych dostępnych na rynku opracowań w zakresie systemu cyberbezpieczeństwa jest wskazanie przez każdego z Autorów rekomendacji w zakresie rozwoju określonych dziedzin prawa w systemie cyberbezpieczeństwa. dr hab. Jarosław Kostrubiec, prof. UMCS 2) TERRORYŚCI W SIECI. Media społecznościowe w służbie propagandy ISIS Jedną z istotnych cech współczesnego terroryzmu jest aktywne wykorzystanie nowoczesnych technologii informacyjnych do prowadzenia działań o charakterze propagandowym i dezinformacyjnym. Dotyczy to przede wszystkim mediów społecznościowych, które umożliwiają organizacjom terrorystycznym docieranie do odbiorców na masową skalę, przy czym krąg odbiorców obejmuje zarówno potencjalnych zwolenników i sympatyków, członków organizacji, jak też społeczeństw demokratycznych. Dlatego też podjęta w publikacji problematyka zasługuje na szczególną uwagę. Dr hab. Tomasz Aleksandrowicz Niesłychany rozwój technologiczny w obszarze komunikacji, jaki się dokonał w ciągu ostatnich dwóch - trzech dekad, z jednej strony został skonsumowany w obszarach rozwoju ekonomicznego, społecznego, bezpieczeństwa, a z drugiej strony stał się potężną bronią w rękach terrorystów. Docenili oni bowiem korzyści, jakie płyną z możliwości dotarcia do umysłów milionów ludzi na całym świecie, wykorzystując najnowsze zdobycze komunikacji elektronicznej w swojej działalności propagandowej. Niewątpliwie tzw. Państwo Islamskie stało się niesławnym liderem w posługiwaniu się narzędziem w aktywności propagandowej. Przeprowadzenie badań naukowych w tym obszarze należy postrzegać pozytywnie. Prof. dr hab. Kuba Jałoszyński

Implementing Cisco Networking Solutions. Configure, implement, and manage complex network designs

Most enterprises use Cisco networking equipment to design and implement their networks. However, some networks outperform networks in other enterprises in terms of performance and meeting new business demands, because they were designed with a visionary approach.The book starts by describing the various stages in the network lifecycle and covers the plan, build, and operate phases. It covers topics that will help network engineers capture requirements, choose the right technology, design and implement the network, and finally manage and operate the network. It divides the overall network into its constituents depending upon functionality, and describe the technologies used and the design considerations for each functional area. The areas covered include the campus wired network, wireless access network, WAN choices, datacenter technologies, and security technologies. It also discusses the need to identify business-critical applications on the network, and how to prioritize these applications by deploying QoS on the network.Each topic provides the technology choices, and the scenario, involved in choosing each technology, and provides configuration guidelines for configuring and implementing solutions in enterprise networks.
