This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.070) seeks to mitigate privacy and security risks associated with the use of eye-tracking technology in virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR) systems. The $356,997 award to Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University (Virginia Tech) will fund research to investigate security vulnerabilities and threats in the form of side-channel attacks on foveated VR/AR systems, which use gaze data to optimize performance. The project will establish a standardized testbed to evaluate the ability of malicious actors to leverage side-channel attacks to reconstruct gaze positions and infer private user information. The research will also explore defense mechanisms to detect and mitigate these security risks, with the goal of protecting eye-tracking data in VR/AR applications. The project will run from May 2025 to April 2028 and the resulting dataset and methods will be made publicly available to inform industry practices and advance the security of foveated VR/AR systems.
