This paper presents a novel architecture for digital identity management. The proposed architecture is highly secure and scales seamlessly across organizational boundaries, while at the same time protecting the privacy interests of individuals and organizations. To achieve these properties, the architecture heavily relies on Digital Credentials, a cryptographic authentication technology specifi...

Available security solutions often are not widely used because the associated secure applications are awkward to use or they lack functionality when compared to standard insecure tools. To avoid this dicothomy, we developed a non-intrusive (or external) clientserver authentication framework which requires no modi cation to both the clients and the servers. In this way, full featured clients can...

Non-Intrusive Load Monitoring (NILM) is a technique that determines the load composition of a household through a single point of measurement at the main power feed. Here we presented an unsupervised approach to determine the number of appliances in the household, their power consumption and the state of each one at any given moment.

driver drowsiness has been one of the main causes of on-road crashes which can lead to death, physical injuries and impose significant costs on the societies. the development of non-intrusive methods to be able to detect driver drowsiness in the early stages of drowsiness is great of importance. this is an educational review and its purpose is to provide recent achievements about non-intrusive ...

The arcing duration of a switching operation is a critical input parameter in condition-based switchgear monitoring algorithms. In this paper we propose a new non-intrusive method that directly measures the duration of the electrical arc discharge during current interruption in switchgear. The method relies on coupling of the VHF electric fields generated by the arc. The required hardware used ...

In this paper a model order reduction method for a nonlinear elliptic-parabolic system is developed. Systems of this type arise from mathematical models for lithium ion batteries. A non-intrusive reduced order approach based on proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) is presented. In addition to this the interpolation method introduced by Barrault et al. [3] is applied in order to achieve efficie...

Witnessing the suffering of others, for instance, in hospital emergency rooms but also through televised images in news or reality programs, may be associated with the occurrence of later intrusive memories. The factors contributing to why some people develop intrusive memories and others do not are still poorly understood. N = 121 healthy women were exposed to film scenes showing the suffering...
