Corpo virtual: uma aplicação de rede distribuída usando vinculação biométrica para implementação de sistemas antifurtos de bens eletrônicos.

Abstract

Virtual body is the title chosen to denominate systems that bind, in a personalized way, technological objects to their legitimate owners. The conceptual basis of the architecture this systems is developed from analogies with the mechanisms, and interactions observed in living organisms, which guarantee the maintenance of life of members of a body and they are used to hinder or to render difficult the use of these members in other bodies. In this work, the, author develops the conceptual basis on which the architecture denominated Virtual Body is established and details the elements of its structure. For such, a systemic model is shown, which has as its purpose the implementation of interactive systems from the set of electronic goods of an individual, so units taken off from the system without authorization are disabled. From this definition, i t is necessary that the electronic goods that make up the system units have control and interactivity capabilities in a network environment, be it through cabled media, or through wireless media. The practical applicability of this subject and its relevancy will be demonstrated from the observation that in the current technological scene there are indications of the expansion of such resources among diverse electric-electronic products, enclosing an increasing variety of applicable goods. The Personal Area Network (PAN) platforms will also have a space dedicated in this work, as they form the practical implementation basis of the theoretical model being proposed. We will have the detailed description of a representative implementation of a Virtual Body from the theoretical model presented and based on a PAN platform. In this implementation the JINI technology is used in the development of the modules that by the OS1 model correspond to the Application layer, while the modules corresponding to the Physical and Link layers and, therefore, responsible by connectivity of the system's communication units, are based on the standard 802.11b; thereby, these technologies and standards will also be treated in specific topics this work.
