Effective Partial Discharge (PD) localization can detect the insulation problems of the power equipment in a substation and improve the reliability of power systems. Typical Ultra-High Frequency (UHF) PD localization methods are mainly based on time difference information, which need a high sampling rate system. This paper proposes a novel PD localization method based on a received signal stren...

background and objectives: attenuated total reflectance-inferared (atr-ir) spectra can be used as a non-invasive fingerprinting approach in quality control of herbal samples. methods: twenty versatile herbal samples were subjected to attenuated total reflectance-inferared (atr-ir) spectroscopy followed by different clustering methods in order to determine by which method more reasonable classif...

The next generation of banking applications won’t be on desktop or mainframes but on the small devices we carry every day. In this project authors have focused on, how biometric mechanism provides the highest security to the mobile payment. Secured e banking on the mobile is the latest issue for all mobile users. The present security issues surround the loss of personal information through the ...

Fingerprinting is a common technique for indoor positioning using short range Radio Frequency (RF) technologies such as Wireless Location Area Network (WLAN) and Bluetooth (BT). It works in two phases: The first phase is a data training phase in which a radio map for the targeted area is generated in advance, while the second phase is the real-time location determination phase using the radio m...

In this paper, we present wifi fingerprint-based approach to securing the connected vehicle against wireless attack. In current connected vehicles such as Tesla EV, Mitsubishi outlander PHEV etc., there is a wi-fi access point on the vehicle to connect to the mobile device which has telematics apps installed. And generally the wi-fi access point is managed by the head unit system in the vehicle...

Wireless LAN (WLAN) positioning has received much attention due to its advantages with respect to indoor positioning. “Location fingerprinting” has been widely accepted as an effective method of implementing signal strength based positioning. In WLAN positioning, the mobile user’s (MU) orientation has a significant impact on the received signal strength from an Access Point, and has been addres...

Accurate location awareness is of paramount importance in most ubiquitous and pervasive computing applications. Numerous solutions for indoor localization based on IEEE802.11, bluetooth, ultrasonic and vision technologies have been proposed. This paper introduces a suite of novel indoor positioning techniques utilizing signal-strength (SS) fingerprints collected from access points (APs). Our fi...

The Universal Serial Bus (USB) is the most prominent interface for connecting peripheral devices to computers. USB-connected input devices, such as keyboards, cardswipers and fingerprint readers, often send sensitive information to the computer. As such information is only sent along the communication path from the device to the computer, it was hitherto thought to be protected from potentially...

This paper presents a new concept of device fingerprinting (or profiling) to enhance wireless security using Infinite Hidden Markov Random Field (iHMRF). Wireless device fingerprinting is an emerging approach for detecting spoofing attacks in wireless network. Existing methods utilize either time-independent features or time-dependent features, but not both concurrently due to the complexity of...

For Wi-Fi positioning location fingerprinting is commonly employed. Fingerprinting, however, is very labour consuming as a database with RSS (Received Signal Strength) scans from all visible access points APs measured on a large number of known reference points has to be established. To overcome this drawback a novel approach is developed which uses a logical sequence of intelligent checkpoints...
