AI-driven 'thermal attach' system reveals passwords in seconds
Published: 24 November 2022
Previous research by Dr Mohamed Khamis, who led the development of ThermoSecure, has already demonstrated that non-experts can successfully guess passwords simply by looking carefully at thermal images taken between 30 and 60 seconds after surfaces were touched. In a paper published in the journal ACM Transactions on Privacy and Security, Dr Khamis & team explain how they set out to harness machine learning to make the attack process more accurate.
