Humanitarian aid-distribution programs help bring physical goods to people in need. Traditional paper-based solutions to support aid distribution do not scale to large populations and are hard to secure. Existing digital solutions solve…
Humanitarian organizations help to ensure people's livelihoods in crisis situations. Typically, multiple organizations operate in the same region. To ensure that the limited budget of these organizations can help as many people as possible,…
Humanitarian organizations distribute aid to people affected by armed conflicts or natural disasters. Digitalization has the potential to increase the efficiency and fairness of aid-distribution systems, and recent work by Wang et al. has…
Determining when two individuals are within close distance is key to contain a pandemic, e.g., to alert individuals in real-time and trace their social contacts. Common approaches rely on either Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) or ultra-wideband…
Existing DNS configuration verification tools face significant issues (e.g., inefficient and lacking support for incremental verification). Inspired by the advancements in recent work of distributed data plane verification and the…
While digital social protection systems have been claimed to bring efficacy in user identification and entitlement assignation, their data justice implications have been questioned. In particular, the delivery of subsidies based on…
This paper presents a privacy-preserving protocol for identity registration and information sharing in federated authentication systems. The goal is to enable Identity Providers (IdPs) to detect duplicate or fraudulent identity enrollments…
Cause of a rapid increase in technological development, increasing identity theft, consumer fraud, the threat to personal data is also increasing every day. Methods developed earlier to ensure personal the information from the thefts was…
Biometrics involves using unique human traits, both physical and behavioral, for the digital identification of individuals to provide access to systems, devices, or information. Within the field of computer science, it acts as a method for…
The objective of biometric systems is to provide an identification mechanism. This identification mechanism can be used to fulfil several objectives. The most common, related to providing security to a resource, is usually authentication or…
The prevalence of biometric authentication has been on the rise due to its ease of use and elimination of weak passwords. To date, most biometric authentication systems have been designed for on-device authentication of the device owner…
A biometric recognition system can operate in two distinct modes: identification or verification. In the first mode, the system recognizes an individual by searching the enrolled templates of all the users for a match. In the second mode,…
Biometric recognition, or simply biometrics, is the use of biological attributes such as face, fingerprints or iris in order to recognize an individual in an automated manner. A key application of biometrics is authentication; i.e., using…
Current architectures to validate, certify, and manage identity are based on centralised, top-down approaches that rely on trusted authorities and third-party operators. We approach the problem of digital identity starting from a human…
Biometric recognition encompasses two operating modes. The first one is biometric identification which consists in determining the identity of an individual based on her biometrics and requires browsing the entire database (i.e., a 1:N…
AI-enabled tools have become sophisticated enough to allow a small number of individuals to run disinformation campaigns of an unprecedented scale. Privacy-preserving identity attestations can drastically reduce instances of impersonation…
Automated CT triage requires models that are simultaneously accurate across diverse pathologies and reliable under institutional shift. While Vision Transformers provide strong visual representations, many clinically significant findings…
We present SMAUG (Secure Mobile Authentication Using Gestures), a novel biometric assisted authentication algorithm for mobile devices that is solely based on data collected from multiple sensors that are usually installed on modern devices…
The proliferation of mobile phones in low- and middle-income countries has suddenly and dramatically increased the extent to which the world's poorest and most vulnerable populations can be observed and tracked by governments and…
Biometric technologies are widely adopted in security, legal, and financial systems. Face recognition can authenticate a person based on the unique facial features such as shape and texture. However, recent works have demonstrated the…
