Interesting research: "The detection of faked identity using unexpected questions and mouse dynamics," by Merulin Monaro, Luciano Gamberini, and Guiseppe Sartori. Abstract: The detection of faked identities is a major problem in security. Curre… Continue reading Detecting Lies through Mouse Movements
Interesting research: "The detection of faked identity using unexpected questions and mouse dynamics," by Merulin Monaro, Luciano Gamberini, and Guiseppe Sartori. Abstract: The detection of faked identities is a major problem in security. Current memory-detection techniques cannot be used as they require prior knowledge of the respondent’s true identity. Here, we report a novel technique for detecting faked identities based… Continue reading Detecting Lies through Mouse Movements
Is it possible to use card access readers for something other than physical access? I’ve been reading about Wiegand and OSDP protocols and it looks like the hardware is all based on that (with some proprietary aspects for the… Continue reading Using Access Readers for software access
A friend of mine claims that it is possible to identify every anonymous call (prepaid, skype, etc) only using voice recognition. However the scientific literature which I’ve read so far is ambiguous, i.e. if you apply voice r… Continue reading Is it possible to identify mobile phone user with voice recognition
This acoustic technology identifies individuals by their ear shapes. No information about either false positives or false negatives…. Continue reading Yet Another Biometric: Ear Shape
Police in the UK were able to read a fingerprint from a photo of a hand: Staff from the unit’s specialist imaging team were able to enhance a picture of a hand holding a number of tablets, which was taken from a mobile phone, before fingerprint experts were able to positively identify that the hand was that of Elliott Morris….

Interesting research: "’Won’t Somebody Think of the Children?’ Examining COPPA Compliance at Scale": Abstract: We present a scalable dynamic analysis framework that allows for the automatic evaluation of the privacy behaviors of Android apps. W… Continue reading COPPA Compliance
Interesting research: "’Won’t Somebody Think of the Children?’ Examining COPPA Compliance at Scale": Abstract: We present a scalable dynamic analysis framework that allows for the automatic evaluation of the privacy behaviors of Android apps. We use our system to analyze mobile apps’ compliance with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), one of the few stringent privacy laws in the… Continue reading COPPA Compliance
It’s routine for US police to unlock iPhones with the fingerprints of dead people. It seems only to work with recently dead people…. Continue reading Unlocking iPhones with Dead People’s Fingerprints
In this era of electronic leakers, remember that zero-width spaces and homoglyph substitution can fingerprint individual instances of files…. Continue reading Fingerprinting Digital Documents
