With over 15 billion stolen credentials to work with, cybercriminals can hijack accounts, discover company secrets, compromise personal information and health care records, and steal virtually any high-value digital asset. To help deter cybersecurity disaster, more and more organizations rely on Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA). Now, there's a single source, vendor-neutral guide to today's leading MFA technologies, applications, best practices, and operations. Enterprise security experts James Hill and Ned Zaldivar reveal how MFA can prevent identity theft, unauthorized remote access, and other attacks, and guide you through configuring, operating and troubleshooting popular solutions across multiple use cases. You'll find proven techniques for integrating MFA into your current environment, leveraging MFA standards, using SMS and push notifications, and much more.

In today's security-conscious society, real-world applications for authentication or identification require a highly accurate system for recognizing individual humans. The required level of performance cannot be achieved through the use of a single biometric such as face, fingerprint, ear, iris, palm, gait or speech. Fusing multiple biometrics enables the indexing of large databases, more robust performance and enhanced coverage of populations. Multiple biometrics are also naturally more robust against attacks than single biometrics. This book addresses a broad spectrum of research issues on multibiometrics for human identification, ranging from sensing modes and modalities to fusion of biometric samples and combination of algorithms. It covers publicly available multibiometrics databases, theoretical and empirical studies on sensor fusion techniques in the context of biometrics authentication, identification and performance evaluation and prediction.

Reliable human authentication schemes are of paramount importance in our highly networked society. Advances in biometrics help address the myriad of problems associated with traditional h

Judge Frank Caprio, “the Nicest Judge in the World,” brings to the page the same wisdom and spirit of decency that millions of fans have come to treasure.In his four-time Emmy-nominated show Caught in Providence, Judge Frank Caprio’s courtroom became a worldwide beacon of compassionate justice—and an unforgettable watch for millions of fans.From 1985, when he first took the bench, to when he stepped down in 2023, Judge Caprio dispensed true compassion to a continuous flow of regular people in his municipal traffic court in Providence, Rhode Island.

The Classic of Poetry (Shijing), also known as the “Mao Poetry” (Mao Shi), is the oldest existing collection of poetry in China, or indeed anywhere in the world. As a fountainhead of the Chinese literary tradition, it has endured over two and a half millennia of continuous readership. In this volume, eminent sinologist Edward L. Shaughnessy presents a complete English translation of the 305 discrete poems from the Classic of Poetry, divided into the Feng 風“ Ya 雅“ and Song 頌“ Combining the received text with newly unearthed manuscript discoveries, Shaughnessy offers a modern, authoritative interpretation that departs from the dated translations of earlier scholars. His masterful rendering encapsulates the essence of this poetic treasury, reflecting the diverse aspects of life, love, nature, and ritual in ancient China.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Professor Shaughnessy’s translation of the Classic of Poetry
