Katerina Kanta is a Lecturer at the University of Portsmouth's School of Computing within the Faculty of Technology. She is actively affiliated with the Portsmouth AI and Data Science Centre and the Centre for Cybercrime and Economic Crime, contributing to interdisciplinary cybersecurity research. She holds a Ph.D. in Context-Based Password Cracking for Digital Investigation from University College Dublin, awarded on June 25, 2023. Her research spans password cracking, digital forensics, cybersecurity, authentication, and STEM education. She applies AI techniques to enhance forensic investigations and examines societal impacts through studies on password portrayal in media and mobile health security. Her work aligns with UN Sustainable Development Goals for security and quality education. Recent publications reveal a strong trend toward context-based password cracking using generative models, alongside investigations into cybersecurity frameworks for 6G networks and mobile health applications. This demonstrates technical innovation blended with practical societal applications across digital forensics and security domains. As a Co-Investigator on the active XTRUST-6G project (2025-2027), she contributes to developing security solutions for next-generation telecommunications. She has no listed doctoral advisees but participates in collaborative research teams through university centers. She actively engages with the Portsmouth AI and Data Science Centre and Centre for Cybercrime and Economic Crime, working within teams that address real-world security challenges through applied research and industry partnerships.
