Hardware-based Computer Security Techniques to Defeat Hackers (eBook)

Roger R. Dube, PhD, obtained his bachelor's degree in experimental physics from Cornell University and his PhD from Princeton University. He has held positions in both academia and the private sector. He has published in top peer-reviewed scientific publications and written numerous successful research and development proposals (securing in excess of $27 million in grants and contract vehicles since 2004). He is currently the President and Chief Scientist of Digital Authentication Technologies (DAT), a computer security company with products based on Dr. Dube's patents. The technology has been successfully field-tested and deployed at the U.S. Joint Forces Command in Norfolk, Virginia, as well as at SAIC and Criterion Labs, and is currently being considered for use by various industries worldwide. Dr. Dube also holds a joint position at Rochester Institute of Techology (RIT) as a Professor in the Center for Imaging Science.
