1 Prof Pamela Briggs Professor Pam Briggs holds a Research Chair at Northumbria University, where she works in social media and interaction design, with a specific focus on identity, trust, security and inclusion. Some of her most recent projects explore these issues in the context of health and ageing. She has given a number of invited and keynote presentations, including an invited address to the World Health Summit 2009, the opening address at the Second International Conference on Privacy, Security and Trust (Canada) and the keynote to the 2010 IFIP Trust Management conference in Morioka, Japan. Pam has ongoing projects in online patient experience (NiHR funded); identity management (EPSRC/US Dept of Homeland Security funded) and cybersecurity (GCHQ/EPSRC funded). Two of her recent collaborative projects were showcased in: (i) the British Council s celebration of UK-Canada Innovation ( (ii) RCUK and UUK s Big Ideas for the Future: UK research that will have a profound effect on our future. Most recently, she was instrumental in securing one of only four founding EPSRC/GCHQ awards that will constitute the UK s new Institute for Cybersecurity and was commissioned to publish a Driver Review as a contribution for the recently launched Technology Foresight Report on the Future of Identity ( Elinor Buxton Elinor Buxton is a policy adviser at the Royal Society. She focuses on security policy, including cyber security, the Chemical Weapons Convention, and biosecurity. Elinor also assists with work on scientific fraud and misconduct. From April, she will be working on a major project on cyber security that will look at UK and international research priorities and the commercialisation of cyber security research. Until September 2012, Elinor worked as an analyst at the SecDev Group in Ottawa, Canada. In addition to substantial research on cyber security and defence policy, she worked with international broadcasters on strategies for engaging their online

2 audiences in fragile and restricted states including Iran, Syria, Libya, Pakistan, and Russia. She also undertook cyber security assessments for NGOs operating in Central Asia and China, worked on a comprehensive overview of Turkmenistan's telecommunications sector and its associated security risks, and investigated the growth of cybercrime in Latin America. Previously, Elinor was at the British High Commission in Canada, where she worked on science, technology, and innovation partnerships between the UK and Canada. She also interned at the Royal Society, where she looked at mapping science and innovation in Islamic countries. Elinor graduated from the University of Oxford with a Master of Physics and Philosophy degree and is currently studying law. Dr Deeph Chana Deeph joined Imperial College in July 2012 as a Senior Research Fellow in the Institute for Security Science and Technology and he currently splits his time between the Institute and consulting on technology development and strategy particularly with SMEs. His recent experience in the private sector has seen him involved with developing innovative products ranging from real-time gas analyser devices, for explosives detection at airports, to crowd analytics software solutions for smart cities. Prior to this, Deeph worked as a senior UK government science policy adviser on critical infrastructure security in Whitehall. He was responsible for strategizing and delivering the Department for Transport s security and resilience research programme, coordinating key technical aspects of the UK s cross-whitehall CONTEST strategy, and for setting national security policy. He delivered advice to four Secretaries of State covering incidents including the 2005 London Tube bombings and the liquid explosives aviation plot of 2006 and served as chairman on key national and international security technology policy working groups and committees. Deeph has led numerous multi-lateral negotiations and technical policy engagements with senior foreign delegations and has been invited to speak on a broad range of security science topics in the UK and abroad. He has initiated national research calls in security science and technology and has acted as a board member, bid reviewer and working group leader for programmes involving the UK Home Office, the European Commission, the US Department of Homeland Security, the EU s Framework Programme for Research and others. Deeph trained as a Physicist at King s College London, obtaining his PhD in He has worked on a broad range of applied and theoretical research topics including, inverse

His academic and external profile can be viewed at Dr Sarah Stevenage Within the University of Southampton, I hold the role of Senior Lecturer within Psychology, Associate Dean for Education, Deputy Director of the Academic Centre of Excellence in CyberSecurity, and Principle Investigator on a number of relevant research grants. By training, I am a cognitive psychologist working in

7 the area of forensic psychology. My research focuses on finding reliable and novel methods of identification, and I bring an experimental approach to determine the limits of human capacity when trying to identify someone. Through mixed methods, it becomes possible to gain not only an appreciation of how good the human perceiver may be at recognising others, but of how confident they are, how aware they are of their own capabilities, and how likely they are to act on them. I also bring awareness of legal issues connected with identity from the perspective of evidentiary admissibility within the Court system, and have acted as an Expert Witness within court. The work that I have conducted so far is multidisciplinary by nature. I have collaborated with Computer Scientists, Forensic Anthropologists, and Lawyers to explore aspects of identity and identification. Whilst much of the work has been rooted in the real world, my more recent work seeks to fuse real world and digital aspects of identity. In this vein, I lead the SuperIdentity project, working towards the fusion of biometric, biographic, psychological, and cybermetric information to underpin a rich notion of identity. I also lead a parallel strand of research focussed on Privacy by Design, this work explores an approach to identification which respects the social and ethical issues surrounding the rights to privacy and minimal disclosure. Together these two programmes of research form exciting and complementary contributions to the RCUK Global Uncertainties interest in modern identity, CyberSecurity and CyberCrime.
