whitepaper Airport Insecurity: The Case of Lost Laptops2008-06-30 Dell
  Do you ever worry about losing your laptop computer while rushing to catch a flight at a busy airport?

Everyday business travelers are putting the sensitive and confidential data of their organizations at risk when they travel through airports. Ponemon Institute conducted a study, sponsored by Dell, to understand the current risks posed to sensitive and confidential data contained in the laptops of business travelers.

Companies are dependent upon on a mobile workforce with access to information no matter where they travel. However, this mobility is putting companies at risk of having a data breach if a laptop containing sensitive information is lost or stolen. Read the findings of this study to help understand what you should be doing to protect the information on your employees' laptops and to reduce the likelihood that your employees will lose laptops while traveling.

whitepaper Tokenless Two-Factor Authentication: It Finally Adds Up2009-01-28 PhoneFactor
  Securing access to sensitive corporate and customer data is critical, especially in industries that require a regulatory-compliant environment. While two-factor authentication is an effective security solution, traditional two-factor systems have been difficult to implement and administer, leading to limited adoption. PhoneFactor uses any mobile phone (or landline) as the second authentication factor.

In this paper PhoneFactor CTO Steve Dispensa explains PhoneFactor's proven approach to two-factor authentication using out-of-band authentication with real-time fraud alerts to dramatically increase security. Learn how this technology works, how to implement it, and compare it to other two-factor authentication solutions available on the market today.

whitepaper Parkview Adventist Medical Center Clinicians Get Security at Their Fingertips With Imprivata OneSign2008-06-01 Imprivata
  Chief Information Officer Bill McQuaid set out to combine all the institution's data into one single vendor Health Care Information System (HCIS). After evaluating a number of options, McQuaid determined that Meditech with advanced clinical applications would best serve Parkview's needs. At the same time, McQuaid saw an opportunity to strengthen security and relieve the clinicians' login/logout pains by deploying a Single Sign-On (SSO) solution combined with finger biometrics. In working with Forward Advantage, a partner that Parkview had worked with in the past, the search quickly led them to Imprivata OneSign, a non-intrusive, easy-to-install appliance that helps organizations strengthen network and application security by enabling easy, secure SSO to any application - Web, client/server, or legacy.

whitepaper A Layered Approach to Laptop Security for Education2008-01-03 Absolute Software
  As school districts invest in laptop computers as everyday learning tools, they face greater risk of theft, unauthorized software installation and hardware tampering. These incidents may also have serious legal consequences, potentially violating government regulations.

This whitepaper outlines a multi-layered strategy for protecting laptops that combines traditional measures with technology for recovering stolen computers, remotely deleting data and tracking computers outside school facilities. Learn how Internet-based IT asset tracking simplifies the management of school laptops and reduces the cost of 1:1 programs.

whitepaper The Future of Online Internet Marketing: A Solution to Behavioral Marketing Using Biometrics2008-02-08 University of Houston-Clear Lake
  Internet marketing is still an experimental area that continues to grow, evolve and adapt. With the virtual limitlessness space of the WWW, the strategic placement of internet advertisements is much more complex and goes beyond the traditional marketing approach of researching demographics. Several attempts have been made through the fields of technology and marketing to overcome the anonymousness of the computer user's interests and preferences to move toward a direct behavioral approach to online marketing. This paper reviews the current approaches to Internet behavioral marketing and its shortcomings as well as biometrics and its potential for more effective Internet marketing.

whitepaper Neuro Genetic-Nearest Neighbor Based Data Mining Techniques for Fingerprint Classification and Recognition System2007-11-01 Yahoo
  The proposed fingerprint classification using Data Mining technique, Neuro Genetic-Nearest Neighbor based recognition, overcomes low recognition rate, low accuracy, increased time of recovery and improves the classification rate. The proposed method involves various stages like image enhancement, line detector based feature extraction and neural network classification using Learning Vector Quantization and Kohonen networks. Optimization of the neural parameters and recognition of images are done using Genetic algorithm based K Nearest Neighbor algorithm. The system is trained and tested on Fingerprint Database obtained from university of Bologna Italy, which consists of 900 samples.

whitepaper A quick look at print authentication2007-09-01 Hewlett-Packard (HP)
  When security threats try to worm their way into your enterprise through network printers, you can use print authentication to make it tough for them to succeed. As this new HP white paper explains, print authentication is a cost-effective, relatively non-disruptive means of verifying that the people who want access to network printers are who they say they are -- and that they have the access privileges they claim they do. Read it to learn about the three types of print authentication and how you can use authentication to control access to functionality, sensitive information, and data.

whitepaper An Open Source Java Framework for Biometric Web Authentication Based on BioAPI2007-06-18 Universidad de Vigo
  One of the major early problems that biometrics faced was the lack of interoperability between different software applications and devices developed by different vendors. The BioAPI Specification has defined an open system standard Application Program Interface (API) which allows software applications to communicate with a broad range of biometric technologies. This paper describes the design and implementation of an open source Java framework intended to provide single sign-on web authentication based on BioAPI-compliant biometric software or devices. The open-source principle makes this system a novel and practical development tool for testing and integrating biometric modules and devices from third parties.
