“Are behavioral biometrics systems biased toward different demographics? Are they robust enough to withstand sophisticated attacks and secure private information? These are the questions I am attempting to answer with my students here at Bucknell.”
Technology is such a ubiquitous part of modern life that our devices often serve as extensions of our physical selves. In fact, many of us have already linked our unique physical characteristics to our phones and laptops, with fingerprint scanning and facial recognition constituting widely adopted methods for enhancing device security. These physical biometrics, however, are not infallible. Instead, the future of biometrics could lie in how we interact with our devices, says Professor Rajesh Kumar, computer science.
