Feature Presentation by Nick Weaver of ICSI's Networking Group: Haptic Keys: A Novel Approach to User Authentication
Please join us for our annual BEARS open house on Thursday, February 15 from 2:00 to 4:00 pm. ICSI scientists will be on hand throughout to discuss and demonstrate their latest research in networking, bioinformatics, artificial intelligence, speech and natural language processing.
In our feature presentation at 3:00 pm, Nick Weaver will provide a novel take on user authentication, the notoriously difficult problem of proving electronically that "you are who you say you are". Grounded in the familiar, real-world concepts of physical locks and keys, his approach, is at once thought provoking, powerful--and eminently pragmatic.
ICSI is located at 1947 Center Street, Suite 600, Berkeley, CA, two blocks from the UC Berkeley campus and Downtown Berkeley BART station. A map and detailed directions are at:
