About

Dr. Faiza Idoudi is a cybersecurity researcher whose work bridges the gap between cultural heritage and digital security. Her most-cited paper, "Strengthening Applications' Security with Handwritten Arabic Calligraphy Captcha" (2024, 2 citations), introduces a novel CAPTCHA system that leverages the complexity of Arabic calligraphy to enhance authentication mechanisms. This contribution addresses the growing need for robust security in smart mobility applications, which are expected to proliferate as cities adopt advanced networks to manage resource constraints. Dr. Idoudi’s research focuses on developing innovative, culturally-aware solutions to protect user data and system integrity in urban digital ecosystems. Her work is particularly relevant to the field of smart city security, where balancing usability and protection is critical. By integrating artistic elements into cybersecurity, she offers a unique approach to thwarting automated attacks while preserving user experience. Though early in her career, Dr. Idoudi’s interdisciplinary perspective—combining cryptography, human-computer interaction, and Arabic linguistics—positions her as a promising voice in the fight against digital threats. Her ongoing research continues to explore how traditional art forms can inform modern security protocols.
