Topic: Next Generation Security Technology

Abstract:

The September 11 terrorist attacks on the United States changed the way the world conducts business. Companies around the world have realized the need for additional security - both network security (internal) and access control security (external). Biometrics security answers the need. Current password security methods fall short, especially when conducting business over the Internet, because it is vulnerable to theft and fraud. Biometric security has no such weaknesses. Biometric security is fast, accurate, widely accepted and, most important, extremely secure. In addition, new biometric solutions are also affordable, providing security at a fraction of the old cost. In this presentation, you will learn about some of the most advanced and readily available biometric technologies and the privacy issues associated with them.

Speakers:

Dr. Edward M. Cheng received his M.D. and Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering at Case Western Reserve University. Certified in Family Practice, he has practiced medicine in San Jose since 1982. Dr. Cheng was the pioneer in the biometrics replacement of password authentication in IT and Internet security. In 1999, while serving as Vice President in SecuGen, he presented the world's first biometrics EyeD Mouse in Las Vegas and won the Best of Comdex finalist in PC peripherals. In the same year, he introduced the EyeD mouse to ING Direct, which was the world's first on-line bank adopting biometric authentication. Since then, Dr. Cheng has made multiple appearances in CNN's Focus Tonite and Technofile. Currently, he is actively promoting biometrics security in e-Biz, eLearning and eHealth.

Mr. Won Lee, Vice President of Engineering & CTO, is a founder of SecuGen, one of the world leaders in fingerprint biometric technology. He has successfully led his team to develop state-art fingerprint recognition devices, algorithms and software for the consumer market. Prior to forming SecuGen, he was CTO of NITGen in Seoul, Korea where he recruited and led engineering software and hardware teams for fingerprint sensor and algorithm development. Mr. Lee held various key project management positions at KIA Information Systems, Ltd, in the areas of Fingerprint Matching Algorithm and Massive Matcher System Research and Development . While working for KIA, Mr. Lee successfully developed and installed a Fingerprint Matcher System for the Korea Police Agency and developed and integrated a Fingerprint Pre-processing/Minutiae Extraction/Matching Algorithm and Massive Matcher System for the Egyptian Ministry of the Interior. Mr. Lee holds a B.S. and M.S. degree in Electrical Engineering from Korea University and is the author of numerous publications and patents on Fuzzy Logic Controller Design, Fingerprint Algorithm and Applications.

Mr. Steve Hong is director of software applications at SecuGen. He has 13 years experience in software development and project management, with execution in many countries. His expertise is in developing e-business related software, including ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning), CRM (Customer Relationship Management), and SCM (Supply Chain Management). Mr. Hong was formerly director of e-businesss solutions in NITGen Corporation and software manager at Samsung SDS, both in Seoul and Korea. Mr Hong wrote "To learn Windows", "To learn C language", "Database VI" and several other computer related IT books in Korea. Mr. Hong has a B.S. degree in mathematics.
