Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2006 in the subject Computer Science - Commercial Information Technology, grade: A, UNITEC New Zealand, language: English, abstract: digiPROOF is a payment system which is based on biometrics and allows customers to pay with their fingerprint. EDEKA, a big German supermarket chain has introduced the digiPROOF system in one of their stores to test how customers accept the system. Up to now, customer reactions have been very positive and EDEKA is at the moment implementing the system in several other stores and plans to roll out the system Germany wide in the long run. In the past years a great variety of new and innovative payment systems have been introduced into the market. None of them however could gain a substantial market share and replace traditional payment methods. The aim of this dissertation was therefore to analyze if payment systems based on fingerprint technology have the potential to sustain in the market and if they might be able to supplement or even replace traditional payment systems. In order to assess digiPROOF a framework of success factors for payment systems was established in this dissertation. Subsequently a survey of users as well as non-users of the system was carried out and the digiPROOF system was evaluated according to the framework of success factors to draw a conclusion on whether fingerprint based payment systems are able to sustain successfully in the market and how the future payment market might look like. The approach of evaluating the system from a theoretical point of view through the framework of success factors and triangulating the results through empirical findings by questioning users as well as non-users allowed to draw a holistic picture and make a positive assumption on the future prospects of fingerprint based payment systems.

Book excerpt: In this gripping, genre-defying YA novel from New York Times bestselling author Z Brewer, three teens—one who presents as genderqueer, one who presents as female, and one who presents as male—are caught up in three very different stories of survival. But those stories intersect as the teens start to realize that they might in fact be a single, singular “they,” alternating among worlds—and that accepting themself might be the key to defeating the monsters that plague them in all three. Three Quinns. Three Brumes. Three realities. The first Brume is a waking nightmare, overrun by literal monsters and cutthroat survivors. For Quinn, who is openly genderqueer, the silver lining is their friendship with Lia—and that there might still be hope for salvation. The second Brume is a prison with no bars. Forced to “sort out” their sexuality with other teens at Camp Redemption, Quinn must also figure out why presenting as female has never felt quite right. The third Brume is a war zone. For Quinn, who presents as male, leading the Resistance against an authoritarian government is difficult, since even the Resistance might not accept them if they knew Quinn’s truth. As Quinn starts to realize that they might be one person alternating among these three worlds and identities, they wonder: Which world is the real one? Or do they all contain some deeper truth?

In preparing your report, you should consider all the relevant factors that may have a bearing on the negotiations.

In particular, you should make reference to relevant literature and concepts studied within the module.
