How to recognize fake autographs

Signature forger sniff the "Software"
Generally, identifying signatures done manually, which is suspected of comparing signatures with the original. With the software, counterfeiting can be known quickly and precisely.
Achmad Hidayatno, professor of Electrical Engineering of Diponegoro University, Semarang, infuriated when his signature was forged student card to take care of the study plan (KRS). Improper behavior of students was exposed when officers see the clumsiness administration Achmad signature. To sniff out the authenticity of his signature, the officer was forced to match the original signature Achmad with a forged. As a result, false signatures are similar to the original, but there are scratches that looked less graceful pen. Finally the officer asked for confirmation to Ahmad to ascertain whether the right ever signed in KRS belonging to one of his students. Evidently Achmad was never given such endorsement signature on the KRS students.
To anticipate the same event, lecturers who have an interest in digital image processing is then to design software (software) to identify specific signatures. Identification is an important process to identify the characteristic signature, which is certainly different from one person to another.
Development of the basic method of identification in this digital signature using the natural characteristics of the human hand as a base scratches which became known as biometrics. Comparison of the accuracy of biometric technology, which refers to the comparison between the fault identification process with the accuracy of the identification process is one in 50 (150).
However, to get the output of biometric technology, it takes a data base of the original signature first. "The more the sample signature for the purposes of data base, output is expected from the application of biometric technologies will be more accurate," said Achmad.
Because, the person's signature is also influenced by psychological conditions. That is, even if only one person, often times the resulting signature persen.Sistem not correspond 100 signatures made by Achmad identification using neural network model of tin-back propagation (back-propagation neural network) built with Delphi programming language.
"This application serves to change the data input in the form of sample signatures into digital form digit (binary). Then the data is processed Aruan neural network system to determine the authenticity of a person's signature," said Achmad.
Processing Data
At first, the sample signature is used as a reference was added in a sheet of paper that the format has been adjusted. The format was such a box as a limit when the appended signature. All samples etched using a pen with black ink. Signature scan is then performed with a scanner tool to convert the data into digital data.
From the results of the scan, it can be pre-processing (preprocessing) and extraction. In the pre-processing carried out changing the image resolution, image contrast, and image edge detection. While in the process of extraction is done by segmenting the image in the form of rows and columns.
The goal is to obtain significant information from the image feature signatures, and to obtain data values that will be input to the neural network.
Examples of the extraction process is the signature images that were previously located in a box subdivided into OGA rows and three columns, so that a nine smaller squares. Each box is enlarged pixels to determine the value of low intensity in it.
In this case, low-intensity identical to the dark color, eg black. If the box is valued at a low intensity (black), then the box would be worth 1. However if the value of high intensity (white), then the box would be worth 0. "Then the data in the form of the numbers are used as inputs in tin propagation neural network and forth," said Achmad.
Neural networks tin, clear Achmad, is a way of solving the problem by adopting work procedures of the human brain consists of millions of nerve cells. The brain is a complex tool, non-linear, and has a parallel process that can process the input signal into an output that can be identified for further processing.
Thus, neural networks in general is a machine designed as a model, as the brain do its work that can be either hardware or software.
In designing a neural network, in addition to considering the structure of the relationship between the input data with output data, is necessary to determine also the way or method of learning. How this neural network learning is to provide the data called training data, consisting of pairs of input and
the desired output. After the training process is complete, then given a neural network input values and will produce the desired output.
To support this research, Achmad collect 150 signatures as a data base obtained from 10 respondents. Each respondent to sign as many as 10. As a result, this application system has a success rate of 95 percent accuracy.

SOME IDEAS TO INTERNET BUSINESS

As long as you are willing to put in the hours (days… weeks…. months….. ) to learn the ropes, you can bootstrap your business with extremely little money, generally speaking. Remember that some businesses take more to start than others. You can start investing for your business, maybe with a little money.That is a step slowly but surely to start a business. Rest assured that you will reap the results bit by bit, try to be more patient in this business to pursue. So, where do you start from here? Here are some general rules of thumb.

Internet-Based Business: Startup Rules

  1. Pre-packaged programs only work as much as you can customize it and make it unique and your own. Even then, techniques that work for one niche won’t work in all niches.
  2. Be wary of any “system” that promises instant results (especially anything that sounds like a get-rich-quick scheme!)
  3. Knowing the basics of html, SEO (search engine optimization), social media marketing, website marketing and traditional marketing and sales are a must.
  4. Every business is made stronger by specializing in a tight niche. Know your audience and stick to it.
Unless you have a brilliant tech idea that makes venture capitalists drool (which means you don’t need this list), you need to determine where your strengths are and which business model you plan on following. I have run three home-based businesses in my life, all of which leveraged my current skill set as the foundation for building the business. Look over the following list and single out the ones in which you have at least some experience. You probably won’t have all of the skills necessary, so don’t let that stop you! All you have to do is work hard and be willing to learn.

  • A Brilliant Tech to Have Internet Home Business

    Can Anyone Make Money Online Working From Home?

    Of course. Many thousands of people do. You might have friends or family members who make a living with a home-based Internet business already. The problem is that not everyone WILL make money online, because making money on the internet takes a long time to learn, and most people give up because it can be extremely frustrating.
    With over 300,000 “Internet Home Business” related searches on the internet every month, it’s safe to say that there is a lot of demand for information on how to make money on the internet. Sadly, this also means that there are a lot of shady characters preying on this group of people.
    I knew someone who fell for one of these scams once – they taught him how to make money online, and then all he did was sell seminars – on how to make money online. The fact that he had never actually made any money online was beside the point… I guess. Not surprisingly, I’m not a big supporter of his business.

    When Can You Quit Your Day Job to Work Online From Home?

    Perhaps the most important piece of advice for starting an internet home business is this: Don’t expect to replace your day job’s income for 365 days (or so!). Although I will add that service-based businesses tend to bring in revenue faster, I would still allow for a full year to replace your outside-the-home salary.

    The Good News About the Home Based Business Industry

    As long as you are willing to put in the hours (days… weeks…. months….. ) to learn the ropes, you can bootstrap your business with extremely little money, generally speaking. Remember that some businesses take more to start than others. I’ve probably directly invested less than $3000 getting this blog up and running, and now revenue is increasing at about a 125-140% pace every month after being in business for 16 months. So, where do you start from here? Here are some general rules of thumb.

    Internet-Based Business: Startup Rules

    1. Pre-packaged programs only work as much as you can customize it and make it unique and your own. Even then, techniques that work for one niche won’t work in all niches.
    2. Be wary of any “system” that promises instant results (especially anything that sounds like a get-rich-quick scheme!)
    3. Knowing the basics of html, SEO (search engine optimization), social media marketing, website marketing and traditional marketing and sales are a must.
    4. Every business is made stronger by specializing in a tight niche. Know your audience and stick to it.
    Unless you have a brilliant tech idea that makes venture capitalists drool (which means you don’t need this list), you need to determine where your strengths are and which business model you plan on following. I have run three home-based businesses in my life, all of which leveraged my current skill set as the foundation for building the business. Look over the following list and single out the ones in which you have at least some experience. You probably won’t have all of the skills necessary, so don’t let that stop you! All you have to do is work hard and be willing to learn.

    Practical Ways To Use Computer Management in Windows XP

    Computer Management Overview

    Computer Management is a collection of Windows administrative tools that you can use to manage a local or remote computer. The tools are organized into a single console, which makes it easy to view administrative properties and to gain access to the tools that are necessary to perform your computer-management tasks.

    The Computer Management Console

    The Computer Management console consists of a window divided into two panes. The left pane contains the console tree; the right pane contains details. When you click an item in the console tree, information about that item is displayed in the details pane. The information that is displayed is specific to the item that you select.

    The administrative tools in Computer Management are grouped into the following three categories in the console tree:
    • System Tools
    • Storage
    • Services and Applications


    Each category includes several tools or services.

    System Tools

    • Event Viewer

      Use the Event Viewer tool to manage and view events that are recorded in the Application, Security, and System logs. You can monitor the logs to track security events and to identify possible software, hardware, and system problems.
    • Shared Folders

      Use the Shared Folders tool to view connections and resource in use on the computer. You can create, view, and manage shares, view open files and sessions, and close files and disconnect sessions.
    • Local Users and Groups

      Use the Local Users and Groups tool to create and manage your local user accounts and groups. Local Users and Groups is available only in Windows XP Professional.
    • Performance Logs and Alerts

      Use the Performance Logs and Alerts tool to configure performance logs and alerts to monitor and collect data about your computer's performance.
    • Device Manager

      Use Device Manager to view the hardware devices installed in your computer, update device drivers, modify hardware settings, and troubleshoot device conflicts.

    Storage

    • Removable Storage

      Use the Removable Storage tool to track your removable storage media and manage the libraries, or data-storage systems, that contain them.
    • Disk Defragmenter

      Use the Disk Defragmenter tool to analyze and defragment volumes on your hard disks.
    • Disk Management

      Use the Disk Management tool to perform disk-related tasks such as converting disks or creating and formatting volumes. Disk Management helps you manage your hard disks, and the partitions or volumes that they contain.

    Services and Applications

    • Services

    Practical Ways To Format a Computer Using a Windows XP disc

    The word Format can mean quite a few things in the world of computers. You could format text in a word document, have a different file format, or in this case, format the hard drive in your computer. Sometimes you need to format your computer to ultra clean your computer. It makes it faster, new looking and gets rid of errors and viruses.
    Windows XP disc is bootable and really does everything for you. (Well nearly) This means that when you insert a Windows XP disc into your computer, it should start automatically.
    However before you do format a computer you should backup your data. Some things to backup include: photos, my documents, favourites folder, emails, all contacts, passwords and more….Go and check out my backup list.
    Next is to make sure you have a system disk that came with your computer for display drivers, LAN drivers, USB, audio etc. If you do not have this there is a program called driver robot
    which find your drivers for you after you have formatted…It is a lifesaver. Its a must have program and saves you a load of work. Even after it is has found your drivers it will alos keep them up to date later on. If you do not want to spend money you will have to find your computers drivers on the internet and download them manually.
    Drivers are one of the most important tiny bits of software that will make your computer run like its meant to. Ok, enough lecturing, lets move on to formatting Windows Xp.

    How to Format a computer using a Windows XP disc

    1. First you must put your Windows XP CD in the drive.
    2. Then restart your computer.
    3. When it says press any key to boot from cd, Press any key on the keyboard. I use the space bar, easy to get to. (If you can do this Go to step 6)
    4. If it doesn’t ask you to  press any key to boot from cd then restart your computer again.
    5. Go into the BIOS settings of your PC, usually by pressing the F1, F2, F10, or maybe the delete key. If you are not sure watch the screen at startup and it will say “To enter setup press…….”. You have to be quick and press it. If you miss it restart again. Once you are in the bios you have to change the boot options. You have to make your cd rom the first boot option. Save and exit.
    6. A blue scree
    7. Press Enter to setup Windows XP now. See screenshot above.
    8. If there is a copy of Windows XP on your computer and you wish to overwrite it you will have to press the escape button when prompted. (screenshot below) Do not install Windows XP in another directory unless you know what you are doing. Just overwrite the previous version as you should have backed up your data.
    You should now make the partition that had windows on it blue and press D to delete the partition. It will ask if you are sure. Press L to confirm. More details on deleting partitions.
    1. Then Press C to create another partition and Windows will estimate a size for you. If you wanted to partition your hard drive into two equal parts you would have to do some math’s and then type the appropriate number in. Otherwise just going with what Windows puts there will be the minimum partition size.
    2. Press Enter to confirm size.
    3. Then it will ask you which partition you want to install Windows on. The default is C: drive. Select this by making it blue and press enter.
    4. If there are no partitions it will create one for you.
    5. Then it will ask you to format quick, normal, in fat 32 or NTFS.
    6. Fat32 suits older computers so I choose a quick format with NTFS. Quick or Slow is fine. If you had errors it is better to use a slow format which can also be known as a low level format.
    7. From now on you just Follow the prompts and let it go..
    8. The computer will restart and it will try to boot from cd again…Do not press anything on the keyboard.. Just let it go through the stages of setup. You only press the ANY KEY at the start to get it to boot to the Windows XP cd.
    9. Make sure you have your serial number ready to enter in. This can be found on your coa certificate which is a sticker usually put on the side of your computer.
    10. Do not remove the Windows XP CD until the computer has started up with a new desktop and icons.
    Now the next process begins.. Installing your device drivers for your computer.
    NOTES
    • Follow the instructions carefully. Once you have done this a few times, you will see how easy it is.
    • The only way to learn is to try it yourself.
    • Be very careful not to make mistakes as restarting this process over and over can corrupt your computer. If you do make a mistake, try pressing the escape button as it can sometimes take you back to the previous screen.
    • If you cannot proceed through the format process, maybe you did not delete the old partition??
    • If there is more than one partition on your hard drive you can just format the one that has the previous version of Windows on it. That way the data on the other partition will be safe.
    • After errors and viruses have been found on your computer, you should format a computer on on low level format , and not a quick format.
    • You can also go to the Microsoft website for more information.

    REVIEW THE KASPERSKY` 2010 FOR THE NEW 2011

    Kaspersky's suite offer other privacy-protection measures. As noted, the parental control system can keep the kids from sharing information, and Safe Run for Websites wipes out all traces of sensitive Web transactions. You can use the virtual keyboard to foil any keylogger that may have sneaked onto your system. There's even a banner ad blocker, turned off by default.

    Specifications

    Type
    Business, Personal, Professional
    OS Compatibility
    Windows Vista, Windows XP, Windows 7
    Tech Support
    Free US-based phone support 8am to 8pm EST; free live chat support, email support, knowledge base

    The Kaspersky suite includes the same collection of bonus tools described in my review of the stand-alone antivirus. Briefly, it can scan and fix unsafe settings, find and remove traces of private computer use, and identify system components that need updating. Where appropriate, the suite will roll back changes made by these tools. As a bonus, it can create a Rescue CD to handle malware that has rendered a system unbootable. These are all useful tools.
    Light Touch on Resources
    Kaspersky's 2010 suite put a noticeable drag on system performance, according to my tests. The current edition has a much lighter touch. In fact, it had the least effect on performance of any suite I've tested using my current test configuration. I'm not counting Astaro Security Gateway Version 8 Home Edition here—it has zero impact because it runs on its own dedicated computer.
    Real-time antivirus protection checks files for malware when certain kinds of access occur. If over-enthusiastic they can slow down normal file operations. Not Kaspersky—it had no measurable effect on the time required to move and copy a large collection of programs and documents, nor on the time required to perform a series of ZIP and unzip operations on those files. That's the best any suite has done on my current or previous test system. Others have had a very noticeable impact. In particular, on the current test system, these two tests took 40 percent and 84 percent longer under Ad-Aware Total Security 1.0.
    The time required to boot up the test system was just 5 percent longer with Kaspersky installed than with no suite installed (averaging a hundred boot sequences each way). This, too, is the least impact of any product on my current or previous test system.
    Security products need to be especially watchful of application installers, to make sure they're installing only good things. Kaspersky's 2010 edition bombed this test; a lengthy script using Windows Installer to automatically install and uninstall several large packages took almost 80 percent longer. The current edition did much better, only adding 15 percent to the time required. That's less than any suite tested using my current test computer.
    I also look at the impact a suite's Web-oriented protection has on Web surfing. My test script times how long it takes to load 100 websites of various types. This test took 24 percent longer with Kaspersky installed. That's not a huge drag, and not much more than the recently-tested Outpost Security Suit pro 7.0 ($59.95 direct) with 21 percent or Webroot with 19 percent. However, using the previous test system, both AVG Internet Security ($69.99 direct, ) and Norton had no measurable effect.
    Overall Kaspersky Internet Security 2011 showed little effect on performance in my tests. That's what users want—thorough protection that doesn't hog resources. The firewall is this suite's crown jewel. Intelligent and automated, it even helped raise the suite's malware blocking scores. It's not the best at spam filtering or phishing protection, but its parental control system handily beats that of most other suites. I'd like to see better scores in my hands-on malware removal tests, but the independent labs seem to think it does a great job. Kaspersky's suite has improved by a half star in its overall score this year; it's a very good suite, but its performance in a few key areas keep it just out of the running for Editors' Choice for 2011 security suites.
