AirSignatureDB: Exploring In-Air Signature Biometrics in the Wild and its Privacy Concerns
Behavioral biometrics based on smartphone motion sensors are growing in popularity for authentication purposes. In this study, AirSignatureDB is presented: a new publicly accessible dataset of in-air signatures collected from 108 participants under real-world conditions, using 83 different smartphone models across four sessions. This dataset includes genuine samples and skilled forgeries, enabling a comprehensive evaluation of system robustness against realistic attack scenarios. Traditional an…

AuraSight: Generating Realistic Social Media Data
This document details the narrative and technical design behind the process of generating a quasi-realistic set X data for a fictional multi-day pop culture episode (AuraSight). Social media post simulation is essential towards creating realistic training scenarios for understanding emergent network behavior that formed from known sets of agents. Our social media post generation pipeline uses the AESOP-SynSM engine, which employs a hybrid approach of agent-based and generative artificial intell…
