Project Grant 2153397

This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Computer and Network Systems, under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070), provides $171,879 to Montclair State University to develop secure and privacy-preserving augmented reality systems. Over a two-year period from October 2022 through September 2024, the University will work to identify potential sensor injection attacks on augmented reality devices and propose defense algorithms using behavior knowledge and sensor fusion. Researchers will also study what sensitive information can be inferred from existing sensor data on these devices and propose an inference prevention model in an operating system to filter sensitive data before it reaches augmented reality applications. The outcome of this work seeks to provide insights for building secure and privacy-preserving augmented reality applications and devices, while also engaging students in computer security and privacy topics.
