Wearable devices are transforming computing and the human-computer interaction and they are a primary means for motion recognition of reflexive systems. We review basic wearable deployments and their open wireless communications. An…
Gesture recognition is a cornerstone of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) for smart eyewear, enabling natural and device-free control in augmented reality environments. Traditional vision-based approaches face significant challenges…
Self-touch gestures (e.g., nuanced facial touches and subtle finger scratches) provide rich insights into human behaviors, from hygiene practices to health monitoring. However, existing approaches fall short in detecting such micro gestures…
Robotic arms are widely used in automatic industries. However, with wide applications of deep learning in robotic arms, there are new challenges such as the allocation of grasping computing power and the growing demand for security. In this…
The Internet of Things (IoT) expansion has brought a new era of connected devices, including wearable devices like smartwatches and medical monitors, that are becoming integral parts of our daily lives. These devices not only offer…
In robotic manipulation, tactile sensors are indispensable, especially when dealing with soft objects, objects of varying dimensions, or those out of the robot's direct line of sight. Traditional tactile sensors often grapple with…
The emergence of smartwatches poses new challenges to information security. Although there are mature touch-based authentication methods for smartphones, the effectiveness of using these methods on smartwatches is still unclear. We…
Smart speakers are gaining popularity. However, such devices can put the user's privacy at risk whenever hot-words are misinterpreted and voice data is recorded without the user's consent. To mitigate such risks, smart speakers provide…
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology one of the most promising technologies in the field of ubiquitous computing. Indeed, RFID technology may well replace barcode technology. Although it offers many advantages over other…
BIOMETRICS are an important and widely used class of methods for identity verification and access control. Biometrics are attractive because they are inherent properties of an individual. They need not be remembered like passwords, and are…
To increase the number of wireless devices, e.g., mobile or IoT terminals, cryptosystems are essential for secure communications. In this regard, random number generation is crucial because the appropriate function of cryptosystems relies…
Passwords remain a widely-used authentication mechanism, despite their well-known security and usability limitations. To improve on this situation, next-generation authentication mechanisms, based on behavioral biometric factors such as eye…
We introduce Hand Movement, Orientation, and Grasp (HMOG), a set of behavioral features to continuously authenticate smartphone users. HMOG features unobtrusively capture subtle micro-movement and orientation dynamics resulting from how a…
With the rapid development of mobile computing, wearable wrist-worn is becoming more and more popular. But the current vibrotactile feedback patterns of most wrist-worn devices are too simple to enable effective interaction in nonvisual…
Many mobile systems and wearable devices, such as Virtual Reality (VR) or Augmented Reality (AR) headsets, lack a keyboard or touchscreen to type an ID and password for signing into a virtual website. However, they are usually equipped with…
The widespread availability of cellular devices introduces new threat vectors that allow users or attackers to bypass security policies and physical barriers and bring unauthorized devices into sensitive areas. We identify a critical gap in…
We demonstrate how the multitude of sensors on a smartphone can be used to construct a reliable hardware fingerprint of the phone. Such a fingerprint can be used to de-anonymize mobile devices as they connect to web sites, and as a second…
Making contactless payments using a smartwatch is increasingly popular, but this payment medium lacks traditional biometric security measures such as facial or fingerprint recognition. In 2022, Sturgess et al. proposed WatchAuth, a system…
Various authors have considered schemes for {\it quantum tagging}, that is, authenticating the classical location of a classical tagging device by sending and receiving quantum signals from suitably located distant sites, in an environment…
Security systems relying on passwords are vulnerable to being forgotten, guessed, or breached. Likewise, biometric systems that operate independently are at risk of template spoofing and replay incidents. This paper introduces a…
