A team of UTSA researchers is exploring how a new automated approach could prevent software security vulnerabilities. The team sought to develop a deep learning model that could teach software how to extract security policies automatically. Unlike trad… Continue reading Preventing software security vulnerabilities with automation
As the number of electric cars on the road grows, so does the need for their electric vehicle (EV) charging stations and the internet-based managing systems within those stations. However, these managing systems face their own issues: cyberattacks. Eli… Continue reading What is opening EV charging stations to cyberattacks?
Researchers at the Department of Computer Science of the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) have recently exposed vulnerabilities in the micromobility ecosystem that may compromise the security, safety and privacy of users of battery-powered ele… Continue reading Computer science researchers in Texas expose security risks of micromobility vehicles
Micromobility vehicles, such as e-scooters, zip in and out of traffic. For this reason, micromobility is seen as an alleviating trend to help tackle traffic congestion. However, a research out of UTSA finds e-scooters have risks beyond the perils of po… Continue reading Security risks for e-scooters and riders exposed
Earlier this year Amazon’s Echo made global headlines when it was reported that consumers’ conversations were recorded and heard by thousands of employees. Now researchers at UTSA have conducted a review of the security holes that exist in … Continue reading Could lighting your home open up your personal information to hackers?
Digital Defense and The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) Department of Computer Science jointly announced a partnership that will provide students and faculty with access to an award-winning cloud-based information security platform to further… Continue reading Digital Defense and UTSA partnership to further enrich the students’ cybersecurity education
If you are doing a senior design project in engineering school, it takes some guts to make a robotic duplicate of the school’s president. He or she might be flattered, or completely offended. Us? We laughed out loud. Check out the video below. Spoiler: the nose/moustache wiggle at the end kills us every time.
The project uses a variety of parts including a plastic mask, an Erector set, and the obligatory Arduino with an MP3 shield. There are many articulated parts including eyes, nose, mouth, and wiggly moustache. The face uses RC servos, although [gtoombs] says he’d use stepper motors …read more
