...User Authentication through Keystroke Dynamics1 FRANCESCO BERGADANO, DANIELE GUNETTI, and CLAUDIA PICARDI University of Torino Unlike other access control systems based on biometric features, keystroke analysis has not led to techniques providing an acceptable level of accuracy. The reason is probably the intrinsic variability of typing dynamics, versus other—very stable—biometric characteristics, such as face or fingerprint patterns. In this paper we present an original measure for keystroke dynamics that limits the instability of this biometric feature. We have tested our approach on 154 individuals, achieving a False Alarm Rate of about 4% and an Impostor Pass Rate of less than 0.01%. This performance is reached using the same sampling text for all the individuals, allowing typing errors, without any specific tailoring of the authentication system with respect to the available set of typing samples and users, and collecting the samples over a 28.8-Kbaud remote modem connection. Categories and Subject Descriptors: D.4.6 [Operating Systems]: Security and Protection—access controls, authentication General Terms: Experimentation, Security Additional Key Words and Phrases: Biometric techniques, keystroke analysis 1. INTRODUCTION Biometric features (and techniques [Ashbourn 2000a]) are conveniently divided into two main categories. The physiological features include face, eye (normally, retinal or iris patterns), fingerprints, palm topology, hand geometry, wrist veins and thermal...

...Advantages of a computer 1. It helps you automate various tasks that cannot do manually. 2. It helps you organize your data and information. 3. It has much more computing and calculating power than an ordinary human. 4. It may help your work to be a lot easier. 5. It can help you communicate with friends, co workers and other contacts. 6. It has many search engines to help you find information quickly. 7. We are able to produce documents with ease because of computers. On typewriters as a comparison, one would either need whiteout or to go back and type over a mistaken letter or grammar issue. Thus, it is easier to correct typed documents. Limitation of a computer 1. The computer can only perform the tasks you ask it to. You cannot expect a computer to be smarter than the person running it you have to tell the computer what tasks you want it to do. Yes, there are processes in the background, but these run base on present info built into the operating system. 2. A computer cannot generate info by itself. You have to give the computer operation and even new instructions from time to time. Updates for examples are a way to get info to your computer to help streamline its functionality, but you still have to feed it that info by having an internet connection and automatic updates. 3. If you give the computer wrong data it is going to give you wrong information. The computer can only work with what you give it. It’s just...

...[ Tips for Excellent Minute Taking ] Ubiqus UK Cliffords Inn - Fetter Lane London EC4A 1LD t: 020 7269 0370 - f: 020 7405 9884 W: www.ubiqus.co.uk – E: infouk@ubiqus.com Tips for Excellent Minute Taking 1) Understand the meeting. Accuracy Meeting minutes have no value if they are not accurate. Names and terms, especially the organisation’s own jargon, must be spelled correctly. And if you are taking minutes without the backup of an audio recording, you need to get it right the first time in your notes: there is no second chance. It’s very difficult to take accurate notes if you are unfamiliar with what you’re hearing. Preparation A good minute taker will prepare him or herself ahead of the meeting. Make sure you understand the agenda and review related documents, such as minutes from previous meetings, related hearings or interviews. Based on these documents, build a glossary of names and terms. A good glossary makes minute taking easier, faster and more accurate. Some people believe that only someone from the same organisation - or even the same department can understand the meeting well enough to take accurate minutes. As independent minute takers, we find this simply isn’t true. In fact, many times someone less intimately connected to proceedings can actually take better notes. An outside minute taker will often be able to hear and record what was actually said, without "reading into" the connotations. A lot of organisations waste a lot of time reviewing...

...I didn’t know whether I had to be glad or upset when I had been decided to apprentice at Brawijaya University. Even though I really wanted to apprentice there I was afraid to not be able to adapt well. Besides, my parents didn’t allow me to apprentice in an instance which was far away from my home. So that`s why I told my teacher to move. But he didn’t admit because all instances had been full. I tried to think positively. Unfortunately what I was afraid happened. I had experienced some difficulties to adapt for thirty days. The first day at BAPSI room (an administration and information division of Brawijaya University) I was like a useless person. I sat like a statue where people only saw without inviting it to talk. So I had no a brave to ask work to do. About one hour later one of them Mrs. Tatik made me type. I felt confident enough to do my first task. But new problem came. The type machine was totally different from the one I had used at my school. I still strived to prove that I could. But the luckiness didn’t take side. For almost one hour I haven’t typed at all. When Mrs. Tatik saw the paper was still blank her face looked disappointed. Finally she taught me to operate the type machine. Mrs. Tatik was a perfect employee. But sometimes I thought it was affluent. On the twenty seventh day she made me type a double degree students report. Then I printed and gave it to her. She considered that it was still wrong. I retyped and reprinted it more than three times. But she...

...Student Sample English 111-72 A K. Schlene June 10, 2013 How the Internet Helped My Writing The internet is a breeding ground for information and education. However, it’s also a breeding ground for people who “typ leik di!!!1” I used to be one of those people. However, over time I slowly learned the difference between “Their” and “They’re” and that it was easy to just add an apostrophe to “I dont know” instead of typing “I dunno“ or “idk.“ This sort of metamorphosis transitioned from “text speak” a form of typing where “Are you with Mom?” could be turned into “r u w/ mom” with no sort of punctuation or capitalization, all the way to generally accepted grammar and spelling. For quite some time, I wandered around the internet interjecting my 12 year old opinions in text speak. Which often resulted in them telling me to basically shut up. I didn’t catch on, so I kept doing it for quite some time. Eventually, my “text speak” evolved into “1337 (Pronounced like the “lite” in “Elite“) speak.” In which some letters are replaced with numbers in a word, and intentional typos were born. “owned” became “pwned.” But for the most part, it can be made into a sort of legible sentence. However, like with text speak, it lacks capitalization unless they left caps lock on. In mild cases, the sentence “That guy just got his butt kicked” would become “That guy just got pwned. N00b.” And in extreme cases, the sentence “Pineapples are good for you” would become “p|/\/34pp135 R GUD...

This consistency helps an individual learn how to type with ease and even without looking. The keys are not going to change, so it is just up to the person to memorize where each key is.

...Ensayo: Una aplicación teórica del existencialismo y el absurdo a la política Cátedra: Profesor: Alumna: Abstract El presente ensayo tiene como objetivo principal hacer un ejercicio teórico deductivo y de aplicación de los postulados existencialistas al plano de la política. En ese sentido trata desde una mirada crítica, evaluar a partir de la filosofía existencialista y el absurdo, el hecho de que en aspectos de la vida privada los gobiernos restrinjan las libertades. A partir de lo expresado y un acercamiento conceptual a los textos de Sartre y Camus nos concentraremos en comprender los conceptos de libertad, el absurdo y la rebelión asociados a la política, entendiendo a esta última como las relaciones de poder existentes entre los seres humanos para resolver problemas sociales, para finalmente dar una respuesta aproximada a la problemática de la libertad en la toma de decisiones que afectan al individuo. Palabras clave: <Existencialismo, J. P Sartre, Albert Camus, política, libertad, poder, absurdo> Hoy en día las políticas públicas y los gobiernos occidentales democráticos han centrado sus esfuerzos en ampliar todo lo referente a las libertades individuales de las personas de las distintas sociedades. La democracia en la forma de la representación y la delegación del poder ha contribuido a grandes avances. No obstante, los intereses individuales por sobre los de la sociedad han implicado una serie de críticas por parte de distintos sectores que acusan a los...
