Towards Continuous and Passive Authentication via Touch Biometrics: An Experimental Study on Smartphones

چکیده
Current smartphones generally cannot continuously authenticate users during runtime. This poses severe security and privacy threats: A malicious user can manipulate the phone if bypassing the screen lock. To solve this problem, our work adopts a continuous and passive authentication mechanism based on a user’s touch operations on the touchscreen. Such a mechanism is suitable for smartphones, as it requires no extra hardware or intrusive user interface. We study how to model multiple types of touch data and perform continuous authentication accordingly. As a first attempt, we also investigate the fundamentals of touch operations as biometrics by justifying their distinctiveness and permanence. A onemonth experiment is conducted involving over 30 users. Our experiment results verify that touch biometrics can serve as a promising method for continuous and passive authentication.

Gesture-based Continuous Authentication for Wearable Devices: the Google Glass Case
We study the feasibility of touch gesture behavioural biometrics for implicit authentication of users on wearable devices like Google Glass. While such implicit authentication systems have been proposed for smartphones, it is unclear whether they are also accurate and computationally efficient on wearables such as Glass. For example, the small form factor of Glass introduces constraints such as...
متن کاملA Survey on Behavioral Biometric Authentication on Smartphones
Recent research has shown the possibility of using smartphones’ sensors and accessories to extract some behavioral attributes such as touch dynamics, keystroke dynamics and gait recognition. These attributes are known as behavioral biometrics and could be used to verify or identify users implicitly and continuously on smartphones. The authentication systems that have been built based on these b...
متن کاملSilentSense: Silent User Identification via Dynamics of Touch and Movement Behavioral Biometrics
With the increased popularity of smartphones, various security threats and privacy leakages targeting them are discovered and investigated. In this work, we present SilentSense, a framework to authenticate users silently and transparently by exploiting dynamics mined from the user touch behavior biometrics and the micro-movement of the device caused by user’s screen-touch actions. We build a “t...
متن کاملContinuous Authentication on Smartphones Using An Artificial Immune System
Most of the authentication systems require the users to provide their credential for authentication purposes by providing their passwords or their biometric data. However, as long as the user remains active in the system, there is no mechanisms to verify whether the user who provides the credential is still in control of the device or not. Most mobile devices rely upon passwords and physical bi...

INTRODUCTION AND PROBLEM STATEMENT Since smartphones and tablets nowadays store huge sets of potentially sensitive data, user authentication has become an elemental part of mobile interaction. Despite biometric approaches, like Apple’s Touch ID, knowledge-based authentication like PIN or Patterns are widely used. Drawbacks of biometric approaches are expensive hardware, the need for personal in...
