Smartphone Security and Mobile Network Research

To analyze methods of securing smartphones and their networks, researchers simulate malware spread in these devices, evaluate authentication schemes, study topology control of wireless networks, identify the geographic location of smartphones, and develop privacy controls as it relates to medical data.

Primary investigator: Ziqian (Cecilia) Dong, Ph.D.

 

Design and Development of a Suite of Keyboard-based Biometrics for an Active Authentication System

This project collects effective keyboard-based biometric algorithms that analyze free text input to capture the unique mechanics of how a user types (atomic keystroke dynamics), the unique aspects of how the user composes text and uses language (cogni-linguistic features), and the demographic classifications to which the user belongs.

Primary investigator: Kiran S. Balagani, Ph.D.

 

Hand Movement, Orientation, and Grasp (H-MOG)

A New Behavioral Modality for Active Authentication of Smartphone Users: Researches a new non-cooperative behavioral modality using “touch-burst” and “cognitive-pause” modes to continuously authenticate users of smartphones.

Primary investigators: Kiran S. Balagani, Ph.D. and Paolo Gasti, Ph.D.
