The recent loss of confidence in textual and verbal methods for validating the identity claims of individual subjects has resulted in growing interest in the use of biometric technologies to establish corporeal uniqueness. Once established, this foundational certainty allows changing biographies and shifting category memberships to be anchored to unchanging bodily surfaces, forms or features. O...

Quality assessment exercises were conducted to evaluate the reproducibility of IS6110 DNA fingerprinting performed by eight laboratories in the National Tuberculosis Genotyping and Surveillance Network. Three panels, each with 8 to 16 isolates, were typed at all laboratories, resulting in 280 images. When the pattern obtained by the majority for each isolate was used as the standard, exact matc...

Abstract We introduce Generative Adversarial Networks for Data-Limited Fingerprinting (GANDaLF), a new deep-learning-based technique to perform Website (WF) on Tor traffic. In contrast most earlier work deep-learning WF, GANDaLF is intended with few training samples, and achieves this goal through the use of Network generate large set “fake” data that helps train deep neural network in distingu...

Website fingerprinting allows a local, passive observer monitoring a web-browsing client’s encrypted channel to determine her web activity. Previous attacks have shown that website fingerprinting could be a threat to anonymity networks such as Tor under laboratory conditions. However, there are significant differences between laboratory conditions and realistic conditions. First, in laboratory ...

Traffic analysis attacks to identify which web page a client is browsing, using only her packet metadata — known as website fingerprinting — has been proven effective in closed-world experiments against privacy technologies like Tor. However, due to the base rate fallacy, these attacks have failed in large open-world settings against clients that visit sensitive pages with a low base rate. We f...

[-5]Indoor localization based on WiFi has attracted a lot of research effort because of the widespread application of WiFi. Fingerprinting techniques have received much attention due to their simplicity and compatibility with existing hardware. However, existing fingerprinting localization algorithms may not resist abnormal received signal strength indication (RSSI), such as unexpected environm...

This paper presents a copyright identification scheme for color images that takes advantage of the complementary nature of watermarking and fingerprinting. It utilizes an authentication logo and the extracted features of the host image to generate a fingerprint, which is then stored in a database and also embedded in the host image to produce a watermarked image. When a dispute over the copyrig...

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is one of the most important crops in the world. It is essential to develop an efficient method to build the fingerprinting database of commercial hybrid rice cultivars and their parental lines in seed market for rapid and unambiguous cultivar identification and seed purity analysis as new similar cultivars increasing yearly. The objective of this investigation were to fi...
