Alfred Tennyson (1809- 1892) wrote a compact, action- packed, historical, patriotic, and a pioneering tragedy inspired  by the Norman Conquest of England entitled Harold in 1876. It is based on the facts regarding the events leading to the Battle of Hastings in 1066. Tennyson has been, so far, the only man- of- letters to have dramatized this chapter of British history in a tragedy, even though he has never been the only writer to have paid attention to this turning- point in the destiny of his homeland. This tragedy focuses on the personal conflict between Harold Godwinson (1022- 1066) and William Duke of Normandy (1028- 1087), also known as William the Conqueror, or King William I. This drama, thus, is a journey to the pa

Authentication is the process of determining whether someone or something is,
in fact, who or what it is declared to be. As the dependence upon computers and
computer networks grows, the need for user authentication has increased. User’s
claimed identity can be verified by one of several methods. One of the most popular
of these methods is represented by (something user know), such as password or
Personal Identification Number (PIN). Biometrics is the science and technology of
authentication by identifying the living individual’s physiological or behavioral
attributes. Keystroke authentication is a new behavioral access control system to
identify legitimate users via their typing behavior. The objective of thi
