This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Securing information during its storage and transmission is an important and widely addressed issue. Generally, cryptographic techniques are used for information security. Cryptography requires long keys which need to be kept secret in order to protect the information. The drawback of cryptography is that these keys are not strongly linked to the user identity. In order to strengthen the link between the user's identity and his cryptographic keys, biometrics is combined with cryptography. In this thesis, we present various methods to combine biometrics with cryptography. With this combination, we also address the privacy issue of biometric systems: revocability, template diversity, and privacy protection are added to the biometric verification systems. Finally, we also present a protocol for generating and sharing biometrics based crypto-biometric session keys. These systems are evaluated on publicly available iris and face databases.

This book was released on 2010-02-23 with total page 863 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At its core, information security deals with the secure and accurate transfer of information. While information security has long been important, it was, perhaps, brought more clearly into mainstream focus with the so-called “Y2K” issue. Te Y2K scare was the fear that c- puter networks and the systems that are controlled or operated by sofware would fail with the turn of the millennium, since their clocks could lose synchronization by not recognizing a number (instruction) with three zeros. A positive outcome of this scare was the creation of several Computer Emergency Response Teams (CERTs) around the world that now work - operatively to exchange expertise and information, and to coordinate in case major problems should arise in the modern IT environment. Te terrorist attacks of 11 September 2001 raised security concerns to a new level. Te - ternational community responded on at least two fronts; one front being the transfer of reliable information via secure networks and the other being the collection of information about - tential terrorists. As a sign of this new emphasis on security, since 2001, all major academic publishers have started technical journals focused on security, and every major communi- tions conference (for example, Globecom and ICC) has organized workshops and sessions on security issues. In addition, the IEEE has created a technical committee on Communication and Information Security. Te ?rst editor was intimately involved with security for the Athens Olympic Games of 2004.
