In a nutshell, I built a system that can use a piece of a person's handwriting to verify if they are who they claim to be. I then evaluated how the system coped with forgery attempts as the forger learned more about how the writer actually writes (i.e. start off with nothing, then get access to a photocopy of the writing and then get access to a video recording of the writer writing the text).
Over the last week I have started to do some research on Database Activity Monitoring (DAM) tools, database firewall tools and vulnerability scanners. The vendor list includes:
