We are proud to announce that two papers from CRADLE Lab have been accepted at CSNet 2026, the conference held with IEEE and the IEEE Communications Society (ComSoc). Both papers come out of our work on password security and secure authentication, and both were written by teams that span faculty, graduate, undergraduate, and high school researchers.
The Accepted Papers
From Training Data to Generator Output: A Task-Aware Framework for Auditing Representativeness in Synthetic Password Corpora
Ali Arslan, Youzhen Xiao, Halil Bisgin, Suleyman Uludag
A framework for checking how well synthetic password datasets actually represent the real passwords they are meant to stand in for.
Does Session Invariance Actually Erase Session Information? A Diagnostic Study of EEG-Based Secure Authentication
Ali Arslan, Moyinoluwalogo Sholiyi, Alina Burdukovskaia, Halil Bisgin, Suleyman Uludag
A diagnostic study of whether making EEG-based authentication invariant across sessions really removes session-specific information.
Congratulations to the Team
Congratulations to everyone involved! Getting two papers accepted at the same conference is a real milestone for CRADLE Lab, and it reflects the dedication, curiosity, and hard work of the whole team.
A special thank you to Ali Arslan, first author on both papers; to Youzhen Xiao, Moyinoluwalogo Sholiyi, and Alina Burdukovskaia, whose contributions as undergraduate and high school researchers show what students can achieve when they join a research team early; and to our faculty, Dr. Halil Bisgin and Dr. Suleyman Uludag, for their guidance and mentorship throughout.
We look forward to sharing this work at CSNet 2026 and to announcing more results from the lab soon.
