A group of PhD students: Yaxiong Lei and Zihang Zhang, in our school have been awarded a CyberASAP project. This is funded by the Department of Science, Innovation, and Technology (DSIT) and organised by InnovateUK. CyberASAP aims to fund innovative cybersecurity solutions from academics. Their project, LockEyeGaze, confronts the cybersecurity challenge of sophisticated computer vision and 3D modelling technologies such as deepfake and AI-generated tampering. They are leveraging the dynamic patterns of eye movements for security, which are significantly more difficult to replicate than static biometric features like static face, iris and fingerprints. Their project is selected to present at CyberASAP Year 8 Demo Day in Canary Wharf, London today.
