Authentication technology plays a critical role in securing access to online services, such as banking, email and social networking. Session authentication schemes establish the identity of the user only at the beginning of the session so are vulnerable to attacks which tamper with communications after the authenticated session has been established. Transaction authentication schemes defend against such attacks by performing an additional authentication step at critical parts of the session, but are unpopular with users due to repeated authentication. Continuous authentication schemes, in contrast, verify user identity and intent throughout the session. So far, such schemes have had limited use in practice due to two primary weaknesses of existing approaches: privacy concerns and risk of false positives/false negatives.

This project aims to address these limitations by designing and evaluating new approaches for continuous authentication, based on a solid theoretical underpinning so as to give a high degree of confidence that the resulting decisions match expectations and requirements. Furthermore the project will focus on ways to preserve user privacy by processing behavioural measurements on the user’s computer such that sensitive information is not sent to the online service. The evaluation to be performed will consider the false-positive/false-negative rates, privacy impact, user acceptance and costs of deployment and operation.

The student will be supervised by Dr Steven Murdoch in the Information Security Group at University College London, in collaboration with VASCO Data Security.

The successful applicant will have their fees paid in full at the home/EU rate at UCL and receive a tax-free stipend at standard EPSRC rates. The project is to start on the 26th September 2016, in line with the start of the 2016/17 Academic Year at UCL.

This scholarship is to work on the High Performance Control System Security research project. High performance control systems are used in many security-critical applications such as car control systems, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), autonomous vehicles and critical-infrastructure systems. Most solutions suffer from security and safety flaws, which can be attributed to a lack of proper authentication, confidentiality and availability.

You\'ll investigate security in a particular control system (such as UAV) or perhaps a cluster of systems that exhibits similar design characteristics. This research is likely to relate to a generic key management protocols to implement authentication and confidentiality. Another possible research avenue is software defined networking and its impact on availability or how it can be used to mitigate denial of service (DoS) attacks.
