today fingerprinting techniques are increasingly adopted as an alternative and more direct and reliable means of assembling sediment source information. one of the principal assumptions of sediment fingerprinting is that potential catchment sediment sources can be distinguished on the basis of their physical, geochemical and biological properties or fingerprint properties. however, while the so...

Many archaeological science studies use the concept of "provenance", where the origins of cultural material can be determined through physical or chemical properties that relate back to the origins of the material. Recent studies using DNA profiling of bacteria have been used for the forensic determination of soils, towards determination of geographic origin. This manuscript presents a novel ap...

This paper describes a robust watermarking algorithm and a collusion-secure fingerprinting scheme based on it. Watermarking robustness is obtained by using the JPEG algorithm to decide mark location and magnitude; the proposed algorithm supports multiple marking. The properties of dual binary Hamming codes are exploited to obtain a fingerprinting scheme secure against collusion of two buyers. T...

This contribution determines suitable fingerprinting properties for sediment source discrimination within theAmrovan and Atary catchments in Semnan Province, Iran. These catchments are representative of a range of geology formations and should therefore provide a meaningful basis for a general assessment of the degree of sediment source discrimination afforded by a range of fingerprint properti...

Fingerprinting is an essential tool to shun legal buyers of digital content from illegal redistribution. An efficient, anonymous fingerprinting scheme has been proposed by Kuribayashi and Tanaka to provide a secure and efficient protocol for both buyer and merchant [2]. However, the underlying watermarking scheme is based on basic quantization index modulation (QIM). Unfortunately, QIM watermar...

Most Web users are unaware of being identified or followed by web agents which leverage techniques such as browser fingerprinting (or fingerprinting). Data obtained through such fingerprinting techniques can be utilized for various purposes ranging from understanding the types and properties of the user’s browser to learning the user Web experience (e.g., through the browsing history). For ente...

Web-based device fingerprinting is the process of collecting information through the browser that is sufficient to perform device identification. Fonts, screen dimensions, language, timezone, plugins and user agent string are examples of properties that, if combined, may serve as globally unique identifier. Indeed, a 2010 study by Peter Eckersley (EFF) based on data collected from about half a ...
