Future networking systems, such as 6G cellular and future Wi-Fi networks, are envisioned to connect billions of heterogeneous smart devices and enable high-speed and low-latency communications using millimeter wave (mmWave) technologies. Instead of focusing on using mmWave for data communication, this project outlines a challenging research plan on exploring, implementing, and evaluating novel mmWave-based sensing techniques for cyber security applications. The project’s novelties are the development of mmWave-based biometrics to defend against more advanced attacks and to respond faster to potential data breaches. The project's broader significance and importance are that the research will help us to gain a fundamental understanding on adopting the mmWave-based sensing techniques for potential security applications. A successful outcome of the research will lead to new biometrics techniques that can provide stronger access control for device and data protection.The project consists of three parts. The first part is to develop mmLock, a user-leaving detection system by analyzing the mmWave signal reflections from the user body. It can help lock device automatically to prevent data theft when the user is unknowingly away from his/her device. The research will explore and address the challenging scenario of having multiple moving objects simultaneously. The second part investigates a liveliness detection technique by checking the consistency between the user’s head movement pattern extracted from vision analysis and the pattern from the corresponding mmWave data for more secure facial authentication. It has the potential to defend against the most advanced attacks such as 3D projection attack and can work in any lighting conditions. The third effort will implement a prototype system and evaluate its performance with regards to security and usability.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

未来的网络系统，例如 6G 蜂窝网络和未来的 Wi-Fi 网络，预计将连接数十亿个异构智能设备，并使用毫米波 (mmWave) 技术实现高速和低延迟通信，而不是专注于使用毫米波传输数据。该项目概述了一项具有挑战性的研究计划，旨在探索、实施和评估用于网络安全应用的新型毫米波传感技术。该项目的新颖之处在于开发基于毫米波的生物识别技术以防御更高级的攻击。以及更快地应对潜在的数据泄露，该项目的更广泛的意义和重要性在于，该研究将帮助我们对采用基于毫米波的传感技术进行潜在的安全应用有一个基本的了解。该研究的成功成果将带来新的成果。生物识别技术可以为设备和数据保护提供更强的访问控制。第一部分是开发mmLock，这是一种用户离开检测系统，通过分析来自用户身体的毫米波信号反射来帮助锁定。设备自动阻止数据当用户在不知情的情况下离开他/她的设备时，该研究将探索并解决同时存在多个移动物体的挑战性场景，第二部分通过检查从视觉中提取的用户头部运动模式之间的一致性来研究活跃度检测技术。它可以防御最先进的攻击，例如 3D 投影攻击，并且可以在任何照明条件下工作。在安全和性能方面该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
