Tilings of the time-frequency plane: construction of arbitrary orthogonal bases and fast tiling algorithms
TL;DR: A double-tree algorithm which for a given signal decides on the best binary segmentation in both time and frequency is presented, which is optimal for additive cost functions (e.g., rate-distortion), and results in time-varying best bases.

A Research Agenda Acknowledging the Persistence of Passwords
Cormac Herley,P. C. van Oorschot +1 more
TL;DR: It is argued that no silver bullet will meet all requirements-not only will passwords be with us for some time, but in many instances, they're the solution that best fits the scenario of use.

Spyware detection mechanism
Cormac Herley,Brian W. Keogh,Aaron Michael Hulett,Adrian M. Marinescu,Stanislav Nurilov,Jeffrey S. Williams +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a system and method that facilitates and effectuates detection of malware secreted and/or hidden in plain sight on a machine is presented, in order to achieve its aims, generating a list of all loaded modules, identifying from the list a set of modules common to more than a threshold number of processes, and eliminating those modules included in an authentication list.
Journal ArticleDOI
Wavelets and recursive filter banks
Cormac Herley,Martin Vetterli +1 more
TL;DR: It is shown that infinite impulse response filters lead to more general wavelets of infinite support than finite impulse response (FIR) filters and a complete constructive method that yields all orthogonal two channel filter banks is given.

Does my password go up to eleven?: the impact of password meters on password selection
TL;DR: It is concluded that meters result in stronger passwords when users are forced to change existing passwords on "important" accounts and that individual meter design decisions likely have a marginal impact.
