Presenter(s): Mike Kiser
Abstract: Facial recognition is eroding privacy and other human rights. Industry and government have ethical responsibilities to prevent this, but what if there were a way to enhance privacy for individuals without waiting for the cavalry? Adversarial technology gives people a way to protect this biometric. Ruse is an open-source mobile app that uses some of the research from the past year to enable “normal” people to protect the photos that they put online from being processed by commercial facial recognition products.
Audience: Consumer Mobile Offense

Bio(s): Mike Kiser is insecure. He has been this way since birth, despite holding a panoply of industry positions over the past 20 years—from the Office of the CTO to Security Strategist to Security Analyst to Security Architect—that might imply otherwise. In spite of this, he has designed, directed, and advised on large-scale security deployments for a global clientele. He is currently in a long-term relationship with fine haberdashery, is a chronic chronoptimist (look it up), and delights in needlessly convoluted verbiage. He speaks regularly at events such as the European Identity Conference and the RSA Conference, is a member of several standards groups, and has presented identity-related research at Black Hat and Def Con. He is currently a Senior Identity Strategist for SailPoint Technologies.
