This paper introduces a “Personal Dead-reckoning” (PDR) navigation system for walking persons. The system is useful for monitoring the position of emergency responders inside buildings, where GPS is unavailable. The PDR system uses a six-axes Inertial Measurement Unit attached to the user’s boot. The system’s strength lies in the use of a technique known as “Zero Velocity Update” (ZUPT) that vi...

The objective of this research is to develop techniques that integrate alternative security concerns (e.g., mandatory access control, delegation, authentication, etc.) into the software process. The resulting model-driven framework preserves separation of security concerns from modeling through implementation, and allows security personnel to pick and choose security concerns to concerns promot...

One of the primary aspects of Personal security is through various user authentication techniques like biometrics, password, Smart Card, etc. We propose to design a personal security authentication system using the commonly available Bluetooth technology. The authentication is done on a fixed device, connected to the web and the identity is provided by a mobile device commonly carried by the pe...

Airport and border security personnel are working to improve security practices and preparedness to prevent acts of terrorism. While they must guard against false positives that result in needless delays for travelers, they must also balance those against the grave costs of missing a threat. In support of a study investigating individual differences in vigilance tasks, the authors have develope...

Some view this as a noble move which has made the banking system more efficient, reliable and secure, while others view it as a risky and insecure way of banking. The aim of this study was to assess whether on-line banking in the developing countries is secure or not. The research...

How Cylance® Uses Math To Defeat Malware The problem, although few want to admit it, is that enterprise security personnel are defending a castle riddled with holes, filled with secret passageways, and protected by ineffective barriers. These weak points are a consequence of poor quality security software, inferior hardware, and in some cases, backdoors planted by malicious insiders. The end re...

This paper is review of many existing video surveillance systems. With the growing quantity of security video, it becomes vital that video surveillance system be able to support security personnel in monitoring and tracking activities. The aim of the surveillance applications is to detect, track and classify targets. In this paper is described object modelling, activity analysis and change dete...
