Cashless society
Mucha, Petr ; Schlossberger, Otakar (advisor) ; Mazáček, David (referee)
This thesis is aimed at cashless payments which have recently gained worldwide significance. Cash is being gradually phased-out by card transactions and mobile payments via non-bank provider of payment services. A question arises of what would happen if cash would disappear in its entirety and we would find ourselves in a "cashless society". This topic which at first glance appears to be utopian is the subject of this thesis. The first part compares the market of cashless payments in the Czech Republic and in northern Europe (which is amongst the most developed), in particular with regard to the use of cards and mobile payments. The second part is concerned with the phenomenon of shadow economy and the influence of cashless payments on its volume. Concrete recommendations for the Czech economy are also the part of this chapter. The final part hits the essence of the issue and deals with concrete pros and cons of going cashless. The chapter is systematically divided into three parts - security, cost-benefit analysis and legal aspects.

Biometric systems
Lisý, David ; Sigmund, Tomáš (advisor) ; Čermák, Igor (referee)
This bachelor work is about biometrics and it´s application in practice. Theoretical part describes the main principles of biometrics and all of the common technologies and methods. Practical part consists of analysis and assessment of applying biometrics in Czech radio building in Prague. Practical part covers even description and comparison of potentially suitable products. That comes with choice of the best one, as a conclusion of practical part. The main goal of this work is to provide general and basic knowledge about biometrics including demonstration of analysis it´s application in practice.

Security elements of electronic banking
Blaha, Ondřej ; Albrecht, Jakub (advisor) ; Voříšek, Jiří (referee)
The aim of my bachelorel thesis is to give a comprehensive overview of the electronic banking area and its security, with main focus on safety features used for authentication. The theses describes the available forms of electronic banking and the principles and elements of authentication methods. The main contribution of this work is the analysis of the environment of electronic banking ČSOB Bank and evaluation of authentication methods that the bank offers its clients. The result is an assessment of the current security status and suggestions what should ČSOB bank focus on in this area.

Biometric systems - possibilities and dangers
Petržilka, Jakub ; Sklenák, Vilém (advisor) ; Palovský, Radomír (referee)
This bachelor thesis is focused on biometric methods, particularly on fingerprint recognition. First part of thesis places biometric into other methods of people's identification. Identification by token and by knowledge. It also describes the beginning and evolution of biometric. The theoretical part also closely clarify working with data and different view on the biometric systems. The following part of the thesis defines the basic principles of using biometric systems, counting FAR and FRR indicators and weaknesses of biometric. Practical part is divided into two sections. First part contains process how to fool biometric systems, which are based on fingerprint scanning. The main objectives were to find out level of trust in biometric systems and research of the biometric market. Objectives were achieved through a self-questionnaire survey. Final part predicts probable future biometric development.

The Use of Biometrics in payments
Kašparová, Žaneta ; Veber, Jaromír (advisor) ; Sigmund, Tomáš (referee)
Presented bachelor thesis deals with the use of biometrics, particularly in payment transactions. The aim of this thesis is to analyse possibilities of using biometrics in payment transactions. Characteristics of biometric methods as well as identification of contemporary trends connected with biometric payment are included in this paper. The benefit of this thesis is a realization of research in order to analyse attitude of young generation to biometric payment in the Czech Republic.

Biometrics as a security element in banking
Pavliščák, Matúš ; Albrecht, Jakub (advisor) ; Voříšek, Jiří (referee)
The aim of my Bachelor thesis is to provide a comprehensive overview of biometrics as an applied security element within the banking sector. It describes various methods of biometrics-centric identification and data-processing. The main contribution of this thesis is its analysis of the case study conducted by Innovatrics, "The Introduction of Apple Pay and MasterCard Platforms," both of which implement biometrics in banking. The result is an assessment of the current state of usage of biometrics in banks around the world, compared to those within the Czech Republic and Slovakia, and suggestions for what local banks should focus on within the field.

Network access systems with biometric authentication technology
HANZAL, Vlastimil
The aim of this bachelor thesis is to process available variations of biometric methods which are used for an automatic identification or verification of people based on their anatomical-physiological or behavioural characteristics that are supposed to be unique, stable over time, practically measurable and technologically processable. These methods have already been used for hundreds of years for the identification of people and for various solutions of security. Today, these biometric methods are improved and connected with the modern information technology. The advantage of biometric methods is based on the identification of the basic essence of a man. Therefore, they are characterized by a high degree of protection against misuse and to following misuse of identity in comparison to a simple function of identification chip or another identification medium. The theoretical part consists of a description of a professional terminology primarily of a description of the biometrical authentication methods. Further on, there is an implementation of analysis of available solutions of biometrical systems in the environment of the Czech market. The choice of the biometrical system for the application in the practical part of this project has been made based on this information. Own project of authentication people at primary school with a help of used biometrical methods is proposed in practical part. And this method will be tested on available devices.

The Purpose and Implementation of Fingerprint Scanning in Personal Computers
Varadinov, Petr ; Pecinovský, Rudolf (advisor) ; Rais, Aziz Ahmad (referee)
This diploma thesis deals with fingerprint recognition applied in personal computers. The topic is analyzed both chronologically in historical context and in connection with other biometric methods. The thesis provides a comprehensive survey of the topic. It starts with physical layer, goes through hardware parts and ends with software architecture. A special attention is paid to programming fingerprint recognition support into end-user applications. These are the aims of the thesis: to place the silicon fingerprint sensing technology into the historical context and describe its evolution in connection with personal computers till the present times, to provide the results of market research of fingerprint sensors used in personal computers, to work out the summary of the functions the end-users have at their disposal, to present the market research results of fingerprint software, to work out the overview and the comparison of available software development kits (SDKs) and that of application programming interfaces (APIs) used for the described fingerprint sensor devices, and last but not least to develop a demonstration application that communicates with a fingerprint sensor device. Technical literature, market researches together with my own experience from the work in this field were used so as to meet the set aims. As for the demo application of this technology it is my own innovative approach. The thesis is divided into seven chapters where Chapter II -- Chapter VI directly deal with the mentioned topics. The completion of a missing angle of approach to the subject from end-users' and application programmers' perspective is the main asset of this thesis. The work also allows orientation on the silicon fingerprint sensor market and fingerprint software market. Moreover it shows possibilities how to extend this technology, it provides a detailed analysis of the software layer and presents programming samples showing that show how to use this technology. The demo application allowing audio volume control by a fingerprint device is an innovation in the branch of computer input devices.
