DESCRIPTION:AR/VR devices promise a new era of immersive computing\, where 
 our everyday experience is augmented with helpful information (Augmented R
 eality)\, or where we are immersed in fully virtual worlds (Virtual Realit
 y). These systems fuse the physical world\, and the virtual world\, throug
 h computing resources to provide these immersive experiences rendered on t
 he user's headset. As a result\, it allows new opportunities for attackers
  to compromise the security and privacy of users that are not well underst
 ood. Towards understanding the security and privacy challenges in these sy
 stems\, this talk presents a number of recent attacks we developed on AR/V
 R systems. One threat model exploits the shared computing resources used b
 y multiple applications on a headset to extract information through side c
 hannels\; we show attacks that spy on user activity or compromise privacy.
  Another threat model exploits the shared state among multiple users in a 
 multi-user application\, allowing malicious users to inject compromised in
 formation or to recover information they are not allowed to access. Other 
 threat models include those that interfere with applications and cause the
  virtual model to become out of sync with the physical world\, causing use
 r motion sickness or bypassing safety guardrails. I will conclude with dis
 cussion of potential defenses and ways to build more security AR/VR experi
 ences.\n\nCo-sponsored by: IEEE Montreal Section\n\nSpeaker(s): Dr. Nael A
