Prof. Cem Ersoy is a Professor in the Department of Computer Engineering at Bogazici University, specializing in computer security and biometric authentication systems. His research bridges wearable technology and cybersecurity to solve real-world identification challenges.
His primary research interests include:
- Biometric security using physiological signals
- Wearable computing applications for authentication
- Internet of Things (IoT) security protocols
- Hardware-based cryptographic systems
Prof. Ersoy currently supervises doctoral candidates Deniz Ekiz and Yekta Said Can on the government-funded 'pulse password' project, which replaces traditional passwords with personalized heart rate data from smart devices. This innovation addresses critical vulnerabilities in conventional security systems while leveraging ubiquitous wearable technology.
His research is supported by the Presidency of Strategy and Budget's TAM project fund, indicating active collaboration with Turkish national security initiatives. The project demonstrates practical applications in identity management for financial and digital services where password vulnerabilities pose significant risks.
