Trust and Artificial Intelligence

March 2, 2021
Author(s)
Brian Stanton, Theodore Jensen
The artificial intelligence (AI) revolution is upon us, with the promise of advances such as driverless cars, smart buildings, automated health diagnostics and improved security monitoring. Many current efforts are aimed to measure system trustworthiness

Analysis, Comparison, and Assessment of Latent Fingerprint Preprocessing

July 20, 2017
Author(s)
Haiying Guan, Paul Y. Lee, Curtis L. Lamp, Andrew Dienstfrey, Mary Frances Theofanos, Brian Stanton, Matthew Schwarz
Latent fingerprints obtained from crime scenes are rarely immediately suitable for identification purposes. Instead, most latent fingerprint images must be preprocessed to enhance the fingerprint information held within the digital image, while suppressing

Usability Testing of a Contactless Fingerprint Device: Part 1

We live in a world where the flow of electronic information and communication has become a ubiquitous part of our everyday life. While our lives are enhanced in many ways, we also experience a myriad of challenges especially to our priva-cy and security

A Measurement Metric for Forensic Latent Fingerprint Preprocessing

July 31, 2014
Author(s)
Haiying Guan, Andrew Dienstfrey, Mary Frances Theofanos, Brian Stanton
Although fingerprint mark-up and identification are well-studied fields, forensic fingerprint image preprocessing is still a relatively new domain in need of further scientific study and development of guidance of best practice. Latent fingerprint image

Character Strings, Memory and Passwords: What a Recall Study Can Tell Us.

June 22, 2014
Author(s)
Brian C. Stanton, Kristen Greene
Many users must authenticate to multiple systems and applications, often using different passwords, on a daily basis. At the same time, the recommendations of security experts are driving increases in the required character length and complexity of

I Can't Type That! P@$$w0rd Entry on Mobile Devices

June 22, 2014
Author(s)
Kristen Greene, Melissa A. Gallagher, Brian C. Stanton, Paul Y. Lee
Given the numerous constraints of onscreen keyboards, such as smaller keys and lack of tactile feedback, remembering and typing long, complex passwords — an already burdensome task on desktop computing systems —becomes nearly unbearable on small mobile

A New Metric for Latent Fingerprint Image Preprocessing

June 23, 2013
Author(s)
Mary Frances Theofanos, Andrew Dienstfrey, Brian Stanton, Haiying Guan
Although fingerprint recognition is a well-studied area, forensic fingerprint preprocessing based on computational theory is still a relatively new domain in need of further scientific study and development of standards of best practice. Latent fingerprint
