Abstract :
Recent advances in affect recognition, facial expression synthesis, and speech synthesis are giving nonexperts access to tools for performing live manipulation of audio and video streams, as well as control signals for telepresence robots. We apply the vocabulary of security protocol analysis to this new environment, considering how changes in technology call into question assumptions of trust that seem natural to users of video teleconferencing and robot telepresence.
