Current smartphone authentication methods are known to be susceptible to even rudimentary attacks based on observation. In this paper, we propose an approach to authentication based on rich tapping patterns that addresses this problem. We present a novel tapping detection technique, using a single example as a template. We also report on two user studies (N = 30 and N = 19) where tapping authen...

The molecular and cellular targets that mediate alcohol intoxication are poorly understood. In this issue, Corl et al. (2009) now implicate a new Ste20 family kinase (Happyhour) and the EGFR/ERK signaling pathway it antagonizes in alcohol intoxication in flies.
