Many of the analytics jobs nowadays are for the financial domain. The top financial domains are Banking, Payments, and credit cards. 
The Best Books are on:
SASUNIXPython

The skills you need to work in data analytics are SAS, UNIX, Python, and JavaScript.  I have selected three books for beginners of data analysts. 

1. SAS best book 
I found one best book that is little SAS. This post covers almost all examples and critical macros you need for your job.

The best-selling Little SAS Book just got even better. Readers worldwide study this easy-to-follow book to help them learn the basics of SAS programming.

Now Rebecca Ottesen has teamed up with the original authors, Lora Delwiche, and Susan Slaughter, to provide a new way to challenge and improve your SAS skills through thought-provoking questions, exercises, and projects.
2. UNIX best book
The basic commands you will get everywhere. The way of executing Macros or shell scripts is really you need. This is a good book so that you can automate…

Tokenization story you need Vault based Vs Vault-less

The term tokenization refers to create a numeric or alphanumeric number in place of the original card number. It is difficult for hackers to get original card numbers.

Vault-Tokenization is a concept a Vault server create a new Token for each transaction when Customer uses Credit or Debit Card at Merchant outlets 

Let us see an example,  data analysis. Here, card numbers masked with other junk characters for security purpose.

Tokenization

Popular Tokenization Servers

There are two kinds of servers currently popular for implementing tokenization.
  • Vault-based 
  • Vault-less

Video Presentation on Tokenization


Vault-based server

The term vault based means both card number and token will be stored in a Table usually Teradata tables. During increasing volume of transactions, the handling of Table is a big challenge.

Every time during tokenization it stores a record for each card and its token. When you used a card multiple times, each time it generates multiple tokens. It is a fundamental concept.

So the challenge here is Table size will be increased.

Tokenization process

Vault-less server

The recently established technology is much faster than the vault based model, where the card numbers and tokens will not be stored. Whenever it received a request, it generates a random number.

Even during de-tokenization, it just decode the random number and sends actual card number. Also possible to send numeric/alpha numeric tokens.

    Hello Srini

    Just read your article on vault -v- vaultless, this question can only be answered depending on the vault itself - was it built to be scalable? Does it store every transaction? Quite simply no it does not, but like i say it all depends on how the vault was built. Is it more secure than vaultless - definately.

      Vault-less is reversible security method that replaces sensitive data with fake data that looks and feels just like the real thing. So vault-less is advanced than Vault.

AWS Vs Azure Load Balancers Top Insights

Image
Amazon Web Services has three types of load balancers. And Azure is having two types of load balancers. This post tells you the top comparison between these two load balancers.


Amazon Web Services Load Balancer Types
Application Load balancer Network Load balancer Classic Load balancers.
Application Load Balancer

Balancing of HTTP and HTTPS traffic and provides advanced request routing targeted at the delivery of modern application architectures, including microservices and containers. 

Operating at the individual request level (Layer 7), Application Load Balancer routes traffic to targets within Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC) based on the content of the request.

Network Load Balancer
 Network Load Balancer is best suited for load balancing of Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), User Datagram Protocol (UDP), and Transport Layer Security (TLS) traffic where extreme performance is required.

Classic Load BalancerClassic Load Balancer provides basic load balancing across multiple Amazo…

Though Ethereum leads in the real-time applications. The latest Hyperledger version is now ready for production applications. It has now become stable for production applications.
The Hyperledger now backed by IBM. But, it is still an open source. These interview questions help you to read quickly. The below set of interview questions help you like a tutorial on Hyperledger fabric. Hyperledger Fabric Interview Questions1). What are Nodes?
In Hyperledger the communication entities are called Nodes.

2). What are the three different types of Nodes?
- Client Node
- Peer Node
- Order Node
The Client node initiates transactions. The peer node commits the transaction. The order node guarantees the delivery.

3). What is Channel?
A channel in Hyperledger is the subnet of the main blockchain. You c…

JavaScript Vs JSON Top Differences

Image
Today I woke up after my night sleep, and quickly I completed my daily routines. I thought a few minutes to write useful posts to my readers. I decided to write the differences between Javascript and JSON.



JSON Quick InsightsJSON is simply a data-interchange format and, therefore, does not directly require immediate knowledge of the JavaScript language.JSON a subset of the JavaScript language. Since JSON is made from JavaScript.Data exchange can occur between both browser and server and even server to server, for that matter. Of course, these are not the only possible means to exchange JSON, and to leave it at those two would be rather limiting.The file extension is .json.JSON can be structured:A collection of name/value pairs.An ordered list of values.An introduction to JSON read here.
JavaScript Quick InsightsJavaScript is a text-based scripting language, whereby sequences of Unicode characters are strung togetherJavaScript supports two different types of data types.Primitive and non-…
