¶ … Digital Signage by Jeffrey Schaeffler
This book presents a broad an engaging overview of the current and possible future developments in the world of digital signage. Though not devoted strictly to transportation applications of digital signage technology, the book does probe public receptivity to the advent of digital signage in many different areas, making a compelling argument for its implementation in transportation applications. Specifcally, Schaeffler notes how communication has become more effective due to digital signage, and the improvements that this enhanced communication leads to. His enthusiasm for the technology is catching; I found myself deeply engaged in what could easily have been a dry and technical discussion of new technologies.
That being said, Schaeffler does present a lot of very well researched and pertinent information in relation to the development of digital signage technology and its many uses in filling various communication needs, from management-employee relations to producer-consumer information sharing and even to directing travelers at an airport. I especially enjoyed the way Schaeffler links digital signage to other aspects of our constantly evolving technological society. This book in part examines the changing trends in the way we receive and respond to various communications, a topic which is of great personal interest to me. Communication is essential to the way we perceive and interact with the world, and I believe that Schaeffler does a decent job of demonstrating this fact's importance. Some of the conclusions he draws strike me as perhaps a little far-fetched, but only time will tell if digital signage will have the full individual impact Schaffler credits it with. Technologies, especially those involving changes in communication, have a way of surprising us, and Schaeffler and I are both excited to see what changes increased digital communication will bring.

Digital signatures are comprised of a series of algorithms and mathematical constructs that ensure the authenticity and verifiability of a person signing a specific document. The reliance on digital signatures continues to increase as virtual work teams, the development of automated contract management, compliance, financial reporting and advanced workflows in the fields of financial services continues to grow (Keenan, 2005). The intent of this analysis is to define the properties

Digital Signature Scheme Based on Factorization The objective of this study is to discuss an issue in cryptography or computer security. Digital signatures are described as "an analog of handwritten signatures" which are based on "the physically idiosyncratic way of signing one's name. But they can be easily forged." (Grabbe, 1998) The digital signature is "a mathematical method of attaching one's identity to a message" and is held to be more
Digital Privacy in an Information Technology Age Information privacy refers to the desire of individuals to control or have some influence over data about themselves. Advances in information technology have raised concerns about information privacy and its impacts (Belanger & Crossler, 2011). There are many definitions for information privacy, but there is little variance in the elements of the definitions, which typically include some form of control over the potential secondary
The technological capabilities of digital television are enormous, and the future of digital television can be seen as being on par with web pages and compact disc technology, all through the television. The broadcasting standard, however, can be traced back to the time when analogous television was first introduced as a viable medium in the time of World War II. It was in 1940 that the NTSC - National
Drawbacks and Solutions in Transitioning from Print Textbook to Digital Textbook The first challenge that this transition may face is the immediate requirement of an inflated budget intended for gadget purchase. Though print textbooks were dismissed as the cheaper option, digital textbooks do also have a considerably expensive budget to purchase and maintain. Furthermore, in cases where students were to fully sponsor themselves in the purchase of such material, division will
