It sometimes seems that as soon as another form of biometric ID authentication is developed, someone devises a way of fooling it. According to its creators, however, a new 3D finger vein-scanning system cannot be duped.Continue ReadingCategory: Science… Continue reading 3D finger-vein ID tech claimed to be virtually foolproof
It’s important to track the whereabouts of endangered black rhinoceroses, but doing so in the wilds of Namibia can be quite challenging – particularly if you don’t want to physically tag them. That’s where a new footprint identification system is desig… Continue reading FIT tech tracks rhinos via footprint photos
Interesting paper: "Replication: Why We Still Can’t Browse in Peace: On the Uniqueness and Reidentifiability of Web Browsing Histories": We examine the threat to individuals’ privacy based on the feasibility of reidentifying users through distinctive profiles of their browsing history visible to websites and third parties. This work replicates and extends the 2012 paper Why Johnny Can’t Browse in Peace:… Continue reading Identifying People by Their Browsing Histories
Sound waves through the body are unique enough to be a biometric: "Modeling allowed us to infer what structures or material features of the human body actually differentiated people," explains Joo Yong Sim, one of the ETRI researchers who condu… Continue reading Yet Another Biometric: Bioacoustic Signatures
Sound waves through the body are unique enough to be a biometric: "Modeling allowed us to infer what structures or material features of the human body actually differentiated people," explains Joo Yong Sim, one of the ETRI researchers who conducted the study. "For example, we could see how the structure, size, and weight of the bones, as well as the… Continue reading Yet Another Biometric: Bioacoustic Signatures
Centrify has extended its password access management (PAM) service to enable password reconciliation on the client. Torsten George, cybersecurity evangelist for Centrify, said enabling password reconciliation using Centrify client software in conjunct… Continue reading Centrify Automates Password Reconciliation via Client
If you saw a finch one time, chances are you’d have great difficulty picking it out from a large group of finches later on. A new artificial intelligence-based system can do just that, though, potentially making life much easier for both biologists and… Continue reading Bird-identifying AI could put an end to leg bands
Interesting story of how the police can identify someone by following the evidence chain from website to website. According to filings in Blumenthal’s case, FBI agents had little more to go on when they started their investigation than the news helicop… Continue reading Identifying a Person Based on a Photo, LinkedIn and Etsy Profiles, and Other Internet Bread Crumbs
Interesting story of how the police can identify someone by following the evidence chain from website to website. According to filings in Blumenthal’s case, FBI agents had little more to go on when they started their investigation than the news helicopter footage of the woman setting the police car ablaze as it was broadcast live May 30. It showed the… Continue reading Identifying a Person Based on a Photo, LinkedIn and Etsy Profiles, and Other Internet Bread Crumbs
I would like to know if there is a way to identify the algorith used to cipher a something
Let’s say I have this ciphered text VEVTVCBDSElQRVI= and I want to identify the algorithm used (base64 in this example).
Thank you
