Abstract:

The human society is highly dependent on networked communications and also vulnerable to ever-growing cyber security and privacy threats. In this talk, I will first give a high-level overview of our recent cyber security research in multiple directions, such as online social networks, dynamic spectrum sharing, mobile device security, and indoor navigation. Then I will introduce EyeTell, our latest result published in the 2018 IEEE Symposium on Security and Privacy. In EyeTell, we propose a novel video-assisted attack that can infer a victim’s keystrokes on his touchscreen device from a video capturing his eye movements.
