August 18, 2015

Author(s)

David R. Kuhn, Renee Bryce, Feng Duan, Laleh Ghandehari, Yu Lei, Raghu N. Kacker

Additional Section to PUB ID 918448. Combinatorial testing has rapidly gained favor among software testers in the past decade as improved algorithms have become available, and practical success has been demonstrated. This article reviews the theory and

Effects of Password Permutation on Subjective Usability Across Platforms

August 4, 2015

Author(s)

Kristen Greene

The current work examines subjective password usability across platformsdesktop, smartphone, and tabletusing system- generated passwords that adhere to the stricter password requirements found in higher-security enterprise environments. This research

The Authentication Equation: A Tool to Visualize the Convergence of Security and Usability of Text-Based Passwords

August 4, 2015

Author(s)

Cathryn A. Ploehn, Kristen Greene

Password management is the ubiquitous struggle of the modern human. Despite usability playing a vital role in authentication, many password policies and requirements focus on security without sufficient consideration of human factors. In fact, security and

Human Generated Passwords - the Impacts of Password Requirements and Presentation Styles

August 2, 2015

Author(s)

Paul Y. Lee, Yee-Yin Choong

The generation stage of the user password management lifecycle is arguably the most important yet perilous step. Fulfilling minimum length and character type requirements while attempting to create something memorable can become an arduous task, leaving

Hildegard Ferraiolo, Larry Feldman, Gregory A. Witte

This bulletin summarizes the information presented in NIST SP 800-73-4: Interfaces for Personal Identity Verification and NIST SP 800-78-4: Cryptographic Algorithms and Key Sizes for Personal Identity Verification. SP 800-73-4 has been updated to align

IMPROVED SEAM CARVING FOR IMAGE RETARGETING WITH SIFT FEATURE PRESERVATION

July 14, 2015

Author(s)

Hamid Gharavi

This paper presents an effective and simple image resizing method. Our method is an improved version of seam carving that changes the backtracking basis of seam carving. We use a Scale Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT) feature in our method. SIFT key

PIXEL FUSION BASED STEREO IMAGE RETARGETING

June 29, 2015

Author(s)

Hamid Gharavi

Image retargeting attempts to adapt images to different devices while preserving the salient contents. Most existing methods address retargeting of a single image. In this paper, we propose a novel image retargeting method for resizing a pair of stereo
