Dear Seattle Section Life and Senior Members, Many thanks to Joe Decuir for hosting the first 2025 Life and Senior Members gathering at his beautiful lakeside home in Redmond. We warmly invite you to join us for an enjoyable time of networking, great conversation, and delicious food! Resurrection meeting time and place: - Monday June 9th, 2025, 7-8:30pm - In person: (https://www.google.com/maps/search/18814+SE+42?entry=gmail&source=g)nd St, Issaquah, WA 98027 - On Zoom: https://washington.zoom.us/j/2366026940?omn=93231791978, Meeting ID: 236 602 6940 The Seattle Section had a Life Member Activities Group before. Last year we had a petition approve to re-start it. Joe Decuir is the interim chair: jdecuir@ieee.org. Proposed mission: Life Members and Senior members have had a chance to work, contribute and accumulate engineering wisdom. We should collect that wisdom, and pay it forward to the Young Professionals and the student members. Resurrection meeting proposed agenda: - Discuss our mission - Discuss how we want to assemble and distribute our work - Identify volunteer leaders – and conduct elections later this year - Plan a Kickoff meeting: where and when? please RSVP so Joe know how much food to have. Also, if you have dietary restrictions, Please let Joe know.

Free Registration (with a Zoom account; you can get one for free if you don't already have it. This requirement is to avoid Zoom bombing.

These systems fuse the physical world and the virtual world through computing resources to provide these immersive experiences rendered on the user's headset. As a result, it allows new opportunities for attackers to compromise the security and privacy of users that are not well understood. Towards understanding the security and privacy challenges in these systems, this talk presents a number of recent attacks we developed on AR/VR systems. One threat model exploits the shared computing resources used by multiple applications on a headset to extract information through side channels; 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 information 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 user motion sickness or bypassing safety guardrails. I will conclude with a discussion of potential defenses and ways to build more secure AR/VR experiences. --------------------------------------------------------------- By registering for this event, you agree that IEEE and the organizers are not liable to you for any loss, damage, injury, or any incidental, indirect, special, consequential, or economic loss or damage (including loss of opportunity, exemplary or punitive damages).
