Vadrevu Wins NSF CAREER Award to Turn Scammers' Games Against Them
The interaction seems routine: a friendly phone or video call or text or chat message from your bank, your computer "support team," or a long-lost match from a dating app. What follows is a slow, patient exchange engineered to separate you from your money. These scams are called interactive social engineering attacks. Instead of breaking into computer networks, scammers trick people into giving away confidential financial information like passwords or credit card numbers. The attacks run in real time, in two-way exchanges, and drain billions of dollars from victims every year. They鈥檙e maddeningly hard to track, study, and prevent because they unfold in private over phone or computer, one target at a time.
Umar Farooq Wins NSF CAREER Award to Secure Software for the Quantum Era
When quantum computers hit the market, they'll give users the power to crash through cryptography protecting banks, online businesses, hospital records, the power grid. Upgrading federal systems alone is expected to cost $7.1 billion - with a 2035 deadline.
