Eye tracking technology and its applications in information security

 

UAA professors Bogdan Hoanca and Kenrick Mock (pictured above) presented last week at the UAA Bookstore on their newly patented system of computer identity authentication that uses gaze tracking and iris scanning. This multi-factor authentication method uses a combination of eye-related biometrics to increase information security for victims of shoulder surfing or virtual-world hackers.
