Some recent GIGL research has been in the news lately. Among others, CBC, New Scientist, and Threatpost have run stories about the paper "Towards Narrative Authentication", by Anil Somayaji, David Mould, and Carson Brown. The paper proposes authentication through shared stories as an alternative to shared passwords, since stories are memorable and passwords are not. It was presented at the New Paradigms for Security Workshop last September.
