This groundbreaking text examines the problem of user authentication from a completely new viewpoint. Rather than describing the requirements, technologies and implementation issues of designing point-of-entry authentication, the book introduces and investigates the technological requirements of implementing transparent user authentication – where authentication credentials are captured during a user’s normal interaction with a system. This approach would transform user authentication from a binary point-of-entry decision to a continuous identity confidence measure. Topics and features: discusses the need for user authentication; reviews existing authentication approaches; introduces novel behavioural biometrics techniques; examines the wider system-specific issues with designing large-scale multimodal authentication systems; concludes with a look to the future of user authentication.

This book offers an overview of the field of continuous biometric authentication systems, which capture and continuously authenticate biometrics from user devices. This book first covers the traditional methods of user authentication and discusses how such techniques have become cumbersome in the world of mobile devices and short usage sessions. The concept of continuous biometric authentication systems is introduced and their construction is discussed. The different biometrics that these systems may utilise (e.g.: touchscreen-gesture interactions) are described and relevant studies surveyed. It also surveys important considerations and challenges. This book brings together a wide variety of key motivations, components and advantages of continuous biometric authentication systems. The overview is kept high level, so as not to limit the scope to any single device, biometric trait, use-case, or scenario. Therefore, the contents of this book are applicable to devices ranging from smartphones to desktop computers, utilising biometrics ranging from face recognition to keystroke dynamics. It also provides metrics from a variety of existing systems such that users can identify the advantages and disadvantages of different approaches. This book targets researchers and lecturers working in authentication, as well as advanced-level students in computer science interested in this field. The book will also be of interest to technical professionals working in cyber security.

CCIE Security v4.0 Practice Labs The material covered in CCIE Security v4.0 Practice Labs is designed to help candidates prepare for the CCIE Security exam by providing a complex topology and two practice labs that force problem solving, troubleshooting, and policy design using topics and equipment that are detailed in the official exam documents. Each solution is explained in detail to help reinforce a concept and topic. Tech Notes present other deployment options or enhancements and provide additional practical implementation tips. Initial and Final configuration files that can be cut and pasted onto lab devices for further testing and verification are also included. These labs serve as a practice tool for prospective CCIE Security exam candidates and, through the use of a real-world lab topology and in-depth solutions and technical notes, are also a useful reference for any security professional involved with practical customer deployments that use Cisco products and solutions.
