FLYSEC article in IEEE Security & Privacy Journal

FLYSEC results are published in IEEE Security and Privacy Journal

FLYSEC research results in the spotlight: featured in the newest issue of IEEE Security and Privacy peer-reviewed Journal March/April 2019 is the selected article entitled "Automated Decision Making in Airport Checkpoints: Bias Detection Toward Smarter Security and Fairness", which included work supported by FLYSEC project.

This constitutes a great success for FLYSEC and EU funded research as the publication kicks off a series of articles, while also inspiring the theme and cover for the issue of a most prestigious international scientific journal in security and privacy – along with (dedicating) the title of the issue to “Privacy and Automated Airport Screening! The honourable treatment of the article is indicative of the positioning of FLYSEC results and follow-up research in the centre of risk based security innovation.

The authors, Dimitris M. Kyriazanos, Konstantinos Giorgos Thanos and Stelios C.A. Thomopoulos NCSRD -IIT ISL Laboratory focused on on automated decision making emerging as the enabler for risk-based and smarter security in airports and other critical infrastructures, presenting the challenges in terms of ethics, privacy and the GDPR and the significant difficulties to overcome when applying solutions for monitoring the fairness, bias detection and refinement of intelligent analytics. The article concludes with the proposal of an innovative procedure for automatic evaluation of fairness and privacy of relevant security AI algorithms.
