Pattern lock has been widely used for authentication to protect user privacy on mobile devices (e.g., smartphones and tablets). Given its pervasive usage, the compromise of pattern lock could lead to serious consequences. Several attacks…
Wearable technologies are today on the rise, becoming more common and broadly available to mainstream users. In fact, wristband and armband devices such as smartwatches and fitness trackers already took an important place in the consumer…
Voice interfaces are increasingly used in high stakes domains such as mobile banking, smart home security, and hands free healthcare. Meanwhile, modern generative models have made high quality voice forgeries inexpensive and easy to create,…
Neural wearables can enable life-saving drowsiness and health monitoring for pilots and drivers. While existing in-cabin sensors may provide alerts, wearables can enable monitoring across more environments. Current neural wearables are…
Recent strides in neural speech synthesis technologies, while enjoying widespread applications, have nonetheless introduced a series of challenges, spurring interest in the defence against the threat of misuse and abuse. Notably, source…
Various intervention therapies ranging from pharmaceutical to hi-tech tailored solutions have been available to treat difficulty in falling asleep commonly caused by insomnia in modern life. However, current techniques largely remain…
We introduce MunchSonic, an AI-powered active acoustic sensing system integrated into eyeglasses to track fine-grained dietary actions. MunchSonic emits inaudible ultrasonic waves from the eyeglass frame, with the reflected signals…
Sonification is the science of communication of data and events to users through sounds. Auditory icons, earcons, and speech are the common auditory display schemes utilized in sonification, or more specifically in the use of audio to…
Modern optical mouse sensors, with their advanced precision and high responsiveness, possess an often overlooked vulnerability: they can be exploited for side-channel attacks. This paper introduces Mic-E-Mouse, the first-ever side-channel…
In crowded settings, the human brain can focus on speech from a target speaker, given prior knowledge of how they sound. We introduce a novel intelligent hearable system that achieves this capability, enabling target speech hearing to…
Building hardware security primitives with on-device memory fingerprints is a compelling proposition given the ubiquity of memory in electronic devices, especially for low-end Internet of Things devices for which cryptographic modules are…
We present the first wireless earbud hardware that can perform hearing screening by detecting otoacoustic emissions. The conventional wisdom has been that detecting otoacoustic emissions, which are the faint sounds generated by the cochlea,…
Existing audio-only hearing-aids are known to perform poorly in noisy situations where overwhelming noise is present. Next-generation audio-visual (lip-reading driven) hearing-aids stand as a major enabler to realise more intelligible…
The emergence of voice-assistant devices ushers in delightful user experiences not just on the smart home front, but also in diverse educational environments from classrooms to personalized-learning/tutoring. However, the use of voice as an…
Voice has become an increasingly popular User Interaction (UI) channel, mainly contributing to the ongoing trend of wearables, smart vehicles, and home automation systems. Voice assistants such as Siri, Google Now and Cortana, have become…
Cloud services have become an essential infrastructure for enterprises and individuals. Access to these cloud services is typically governed by Identity and Access Management systems, where user authentication often relies on passwords.…
Ear recognition can be described as a revived scientific field. Ear biometrics were long believed to not be accurate enough and held a secondary place in scientific research, being seen as only complementary to other types of biometrics,…
In this paper, we present an acoustic side channel attack which makes use of smartphone microphones recording a robot in operation to exploit acoustic properties of the sound to fingerprint a robot's movements. In this work we consider the…
In existing biometric authentication methods, the user must perform an authentication operation such as placing a finger in a scanner or facing a camera. With ear acoustic authentication, acoustic characteristics of the ear canal are used…
In low-resource computing contexts, such as smartphones and other tiny devices, Both deep learning and machine learning are being used in a lot of identification systems. as authentication techniques. The transparent, contactless, and…
