Abstract:In this talk, I’ll give a brief introduction on my research group’s research activities in cyber security. Then I’ll discuss our latest research findings on establishing a New Biocryptosystem-oriented Security Analysis Framework. Bio-cryptography is an emerging technology that combines the advantages of both conventional cryptography and biometrics. Existing bio-cryptography security frameworks have predominately deployed information security measure Entropy. We revealed that such security measures can easily lead to the conclusion of zero entropy for most bio-cryptosystems which gives a false perception of insecurity in such systems. A new Biocryptosystem-oriented Security Analysis Framework is established which can address such issues.

Bio:Dr. Jiankun Hu is Professor at the School of Engineering and IT, University of New South Wales (UNSW) Canberra (also named UNSW at the Australian Defence Force Academy (UNSW@ADFA), Canberra, Australia.
