BreathID: Radar's New Role in Biometrics

Adaptive Thresholding in Marine RADARs

In order to detect targets upon sea surface or near it, marine radars should be capable of distinguishing signals of target reflections from the sea clutter. Our proposed method in this paper relates to detection of dissimilar marine targets in an inhomogeneous environment with clutter and non-stationary noises, and is based on adaptive thresholding determination methods. The variance and t...

New Observations by Wind Profiling Radars

Application of quantum technology in radars

In this paper, the use of quantum technology in the radar system and the advantages of these radars as compared to classical radars have been analyzed. In the beginning, briefly, we present the basic structure of the theory of quantum electrodynamics, and then the role of photon in this theory and photon interactions is presented.  In the next step, the most general form of the quantum radar cr...

A New Secure Pairing Protocol using Biometrics

Secure Pairing enables two devices, which share no prior context with each other, to agree upon a security association that they can use to protect their subsequent communication. Secure pairing offers guarantees of the association partner identity and it should be resistant to eavesdropping or to a man-in-the-middle attack. We propose a user friendly solution to this problem. Keys extracted fr...

The Role of Biometrics in Virtual Communities and Digital Governments

This chapter is intended to introduce the role of biometrics in virtual communities and digital governments. Key steps for a biometric system to complete an identification or verification / authentication process are introduced. Main biometric techniques, such as fingerprint recognition, face recognition, iris recognition, and voice recognition, for the security purposes of identification and a...
