Cyber risk assessment is a fundamental activity for enhancing the protection of an organization, identifying and evaluating the exposure to cyber threats. Currently, this activity is carried out mainly manually and the identification and…

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…

Over the past two decades, biometric recognition has exploded into a plethora of different applications around the globe. This proliferation can be attributed to the high levels of authentication accuracy and user convenience that biometric…

Human decision-making under uncertainty faces growing challenges from information-based threats that pose risks to human cognitive processes and behavior. Although their potential harm is widely acknowledged, there remains no well-defined…

Biometric data is considered to be very private and highly sensitive. As such, many methods for biometric template protection were considered over the years -- from biohashing and specially crafted feature extraction procedures, to the use…

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…

To prove that a dataset is sufficiently anonymized, many privacy policies suggest that a re-identification risk assessment be performed, but do not provide a precise methodology for doing so, leaving the industry alone with the problem.…

Algorithmic risk assessments are increasingly used to help humans make decisions in high-stakes settings, such as medicine, criminal justice and education. In each of these cases, the purpose of the risk assessment tool is to inform…

With the emergence of the Internet-of-Things (IoT), there is a growing need for access control and data protection on low-power, pervasive devices. Biometric-based authentication is promising for IoT due to its convenient nature and lower…

This paper examines the complex nature of cyber attacks through an analysis of the LastPass breach. It argues for the integration of human-centric considerations into cybersecurity measures, focusing on mitigating factors such as…

This paper concerns with facial-based watchlist technology as a component of automated border control machines deployed in e-borders. The key task of the watchlist technology is to mitigate effects of mis-identification and impersonation.…

Safety concerns have risen as robots become more integrated into our daily lives and continue to interact closely with humans. One of the most crucial safety priorities is preventing collisions between robots and people walking nearby.…

Among user authentication methods, behavioural biometrics has proven to be effective against identity theft as well as user-friendly and unobtrusive. One of the most popular traits in the literature is keystroke dynamics due to the large…

Face recognition is a popular form of biometric authentication and due to its widespread use, attacks have become more common as well. Recent studies show that Face Recognition Systems are vulnerable to attacks and can lead to erroneous…

Emotion recognition technology is crucial in providing a personalized user experience. It is especially important in virtual reality(VR) to assess the user's emotions to enhance their sense of immersion. We propose an emotion recognition…

In this work, we investigate the concept of biometric backdoors: a template poisoning attack on biometric systems that allows adversaries to stealthily and effortlessly impersonate users in the long-term by exploiting the template update…

Frontier AI systems are rapidly advancing in their capabilities to persuade, deceive, and influence human behaviour, with current models already demonstrating human-level persuasion and strategic deception in specific contexts. Humans are…

There is an increasing shift in technology towards biometric solutions, but one of the biggest barriers to widespread use is the acceptance by the users. In this paper we investigate the understanding, awareness and acceptance of biometrics…

Biometrical authentication systems are often presented as the best and simplest way to reach higher security levels. But a deeper analysis shows that several risks are hidden and the service provider adopting those system has to carefully…

Traditional authentication systems use alphanumeric or graphical passwords, or token-based techniques that require "something you know and something you have". The disadvantages of these systems include the risks of forgetfulness, loss, and…
