About the editors
Professor Issa Traore has a degree in aeronautical engineering from the Ecole de l'Air Salon de Provence, France, MSc in computer engineering from the ENSAE (Ecole Nationale Superieure de l’Aeronautique et de l’Espace) - Toulouse, France and a Ph.D. in Software Engineering from Institute Nationale Polytechnique - Toulouse, France. Dr. Traore is the Co-Founder and Chief Scientist of Plurilock Security Solutions Inc. Plurilock delivers biometrics security and online fraud detection solutions to the global market. Dr. Traore is also a full Professor at the University of Victoria, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering since 1999. He is the founder and Coordinator of the Information Security and Object Technology (ISOT) Laboratory, one of the leading institutions worldwide in research in behavioral biometrics technologies. He is the co-author of the first book on continuous authentication using biometric technologies and the first book on gait biometrics based on the ground reaction force (GRF). He has been granted two US patents on behavioral biometrics and emerging authentication technologies. He has published over 130 papers in archival journals and conferences on network security and biometrics technologies. He has supervised and graduated over in the last 15 years over 30 graduate students (Master’s and PhD), several of whom are working as faculty members in different Universities. Dr. Traore developed with his students a new behavioral biometrics technology based on mouse dynamics that can be used for both continuous authentication and static authentication. This pioneering work on mouse dynamics has opened up the door to a new field of research which has been growing steadily. In addition, Dr. Traore and his team established that cognitive factors such as short-term memory and visual-scan and detection, can be measured using a computer mouse and used to biometrically authenticate computer users. This gave rise to some new multimodal biometrics that combines three modalities, namely, mouse dynamics, short-term memory, and visual-scan and detection. Dr. Traore and his team made also significant contribution on free text analysis of keystroke dynamics biometric. A specific challenge related to continuous authentication is the need to ensure that the authentication process will be conducted passively without any active involvement of the user. Free text analysis is the only keystroke dynamics biometrics can be processed transparently and unobtrusively.
Professor Isaac Woungang received his M.Sc. & Ph.D degrees, all in Mathematics, from the University of Aix Marseille II, France, and University of South, Toulon and Var, France, in 1990 and 1994 respectively. In 1999, he received a MSc degree from INRS-Materials and Telecommunications, University of Quebec in Montreal (Quebec), Canada. From 1999 to 2002, he worked as a software engineer at Nortel Networks, Ottawa, Canada. Since 2002, he has been with Ryerson University, where he is now a Professor of Computer Science and Director of the Distributed Applications and Broadband (DABNEL) Research Lab, Ryerson University, Toronto, Canada. His current research interests include radio resource management in next generation wireless networks and network security. Dr. Woungang has published 8 books and over 100 refereed technical articles in scholarly international journals and proceedings of international conferences. He served as Associate Editor of the Computers and Electrical Engineering (Elsevier), and the International Journal of Communication Systems (Wiley). He has Guest Edited several Special Issues with various reputed journals such as IET Information Security, Computer Communications (Elsevier), Computers and Electrical Engineering (Elsevier), and Telecommunication Systems (Springer). He served as Chair of Computer Chapter, IEEE Toronto Section (2012 to 2016).
