As the line between biology and technology blurs, our bodies are becoming both keys and data sources.

This talk explores how bio- and neurotechnology are emerging as powerful tools for authentication and security, from brainwave-based identity verification to real-time emotion and attention sensing.

We’ll examine the current landscape of biosensing and “cognitive biometrics,” technologies capable of revealing a person’s internal state, and discuss the technical, ethical, and privacy challenges of securing data that originates from the body and mind.
