Designing so many microstructures manually would be a huge task, so the researchers apply an optimisation program, called a genetic algorithm, instead.
To address this, scientists from trust are working on a program called the Genotype Prediction Algorithm (GPA) for Asian donors funded by the Department of Health.
So for his Ignite NYC talk, he performed a series of experiments to find just what sorts of obscuring techniques can defeat a common facial recognition algorithm known as Eigenfaces, testing an off-the-shelf implementation of that algorithm in a program called Neurotechnology.
