Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biometrics - the physiological and/or behavioural characteristics that can be used to verify the identity of an individual - are no longer just being used in high security locations; they are now in use in major, mainstream government and commercial applications. Since September 11, the heightened awareness of security issues is driving forward the adoption of biometrics within numerous application environments. Coupled with a dramatic decrease in the price of such systems and the formulation of comprehensive industry standards, the market looks set for rapid growth over the next 5 years. The second edition of The Biometric Industry Report - Forecasts and Analysis to 2006 examines the current use and future growth of biometrics. It analyses the trends in markets, technologies and industry structure and profiles the major players. The report provides key market statistics and forecasts essential for companies to plot their future growth strategies.For a PDF version of the report please call Sarah Proom on +44 (0) 1865 843181 for price details.

Download or read book America Identified written by Lisa S. Nelson and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2010-11-12 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An examination of the public's perceptions of biometric identification technology in the context of privacy, security, and civil liberties. The use of biometric technology for identification has gone from Orwellian fantasy to everyday reality. This technology, which verifies or recognizes a person's identity based on physiological, anatomical, or behavioral patterns (including fingerprints, retina, handwriting, and keystrokes) has been deployed for such purposes as combating welfare fraud, screening airplane passengers, and identifying terrorists. The accompanying controversy has pitted those who praise the technology's accuracy and efficiency against advocates for privacy and civil liberties. In America Identified, Lisa Nelson investigates the complex public responses to biometric technology. She uses societal perceptions of this particular identification technology to explore the values, beliefs, and ideologies that influence public acceptance of technology. Drawing on her own extensive research with focus groups and a national survey, Nelson finds that considerations of privacy, anonymity, trust and confidence in institutions, and the legitimacy of paternalistic government interventions are extremely important to users and potential users of the technology. She examines the long history of government systems of identification and the controversies they have inspired; the effect of the information technology revolution and the events of September 11, 2001; the normative value of privacy (as opposed to its merely legal definition); the place of surveillance technologies in a civil society; trust in government and distrust in the expanded role of government; and the balance between the need for government to act to prevent harm and the possible threat to liberty in government's actions.

Download or read book Cybersecurity for Critical Infrastructure Protection Via Reflection of Industrial Control Systems written by O.B. Popov and published by IOS Press. This book was released on 2022-11-23 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although cybersecurity is something of a latecomer on the computer science and engineering scene, there are now inclinations to consider cybersecurity a meta-discipline. Unlike traditional information and communication systems, the priority goal of the cybersecurity of cyber-physical systems is the provision of stable and reliable operation for the critical infrastructures of all fundamental societal functions and activities. This book, Cybersecurity for Critical Infrastructure Protection via Reflection of Industrial Control Systems, presents the 28 papers delivered at the NATO Advanced Research Workshop (ARW) hosted in Baku, Azerbaijan, and held online from 27-29 October 2021. The inspiration and motivation behind the ARW stem from the growth in large-scale cyber attacks, the rising degree of complexity and sophistication of advanced threats, and the need to protect critical infrastructure by promoting and building a resilient system to promote the well-being of all citizens. The workshop covered a wide range of cybersecurity topics, permeating the main ideas, concepts and paradigms behind ICS and blended with applications and practical exercises, with overtones to IoT, IIoT, ICS, artificial intelligence, and machine learning. Areas discussed during the ARW included the cybersecurity of critical infrastructures; its educational and research aspects; vulnerability analysis; ICS/PLC/SCADA test beds and research; intrusion detection, mitigation and prevention; cryptography; digital forensics for ICS/PLCs; Industry 4.0 robustness and trustworthiness; and Cyber Fortress concept infused with practical training. Investigating theoretical and practical problems involving the security of critical and essential infrastructure of each segment of contemporary societies, the book will be of interest to all those whose work involves cybersecurity.

This book was released on 2018-09-21 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NOTE: EBH cannot allow co-pays or deductibles. Healthcare becomes a paradigm shift when operating as the business model of "whole life insurance." The "accounting numbers" tell the EBH story. Here are a few numbers from the book: Based on a 7.5% IPPP rate, a household income of $50,000 pays a monthly premium of only $313 (held in escrow, that covers entire household). In a sample comparison to Humana group health, EBH premiums for employees are reduced by 54% (paid into escrows by an employer-sponsor). Total annual U.S. healthcare expenditures are reduced from $3.4 trillion to $1.9 trillion. Healthcare percentage of GDP is reduced from 19% to 11%. Gov'mt expenditure on healthcare (Medicare & Medicaid) are reduced by up to 82%. The average per capita costs of healthcare per U.S. household decreases from $26,720 to $15,200. Follow the remarkable EBH puzzle in the book. Then support passage of the American Healthcare Equity Act bill in Chapter 8, for everyone to study.
