Abstract: A message can be encoded in an image file by mapping at least one bit of the message onto each sub-unit of the image file, and adjusting a distinguishable characteristic of each sub-unit according to the corresponding bit to produce a modified image file. The message can be decoded from the message file by comparing each sub-unit of the modified image file with a corresponding sub-unit of the original image file, and identifying at least one bit of the message based on each comparison.
Abstract: A method of enciphering information includes generating five index values by performing modulo division on a 32-bit binary input value, identifying five 8-bit output patterns based on the five index values, and enciphering or deciphering five bytes of text using the five 8-bit output patterns.
Abstract: An authentication platform comprises an authentication unit configured to authenticate the user based on received input data, and a control unit configured to enable communication between a client device and an authentication host as a consequence of successful authentication of the user by the authentication unit.
Abstract: A biometric authentication system includes a biometric sensor configured for single user authentication. The biometric sensor can be configured for single user authentication through an enrollment procedure in which one or more sensing parameters are adjusted based on unique characteristics of the user. Thereafter, the user can be authenticated by capturing biometric data using the adjusted sensing parameters and comparing the captured biometric data against stored template data.

Abstract: A device for use in the fastening of a panel or cladding to a wall is disclosed. The device includes a base plate, a panel connecting plate, and a connecting assembly that connects the panel connecting plate to the base plate and that is constructed and arranged so as to provide minimal thermal bridging between the base plate and the panel connecting plate through an insulation layer that covers the base plate and the wall while simultaneously providing structural integrity for attaching the panel or cladding to the wall.
