Active User Authentication for Smartphones: A Challenge Data Set and Benchmark Results
In this paper, automated user verification techniques for smartphones are
investigated. A unique non-commercial dataset, the University of Maryland
Active Authentication Dataset 02 (UMDAA-02) for multi-modal user authentication
research is introduced. This paper focuses on three sensors - front camera,
touch sensor and location service while providing a general description for
other modalities. Benchmark results for face detection, face verification,
touch-based user identification and location-based next-place prediction are
presented, which indicate that more robust methods fine-tuned to the mobile
platform are needed to achieve satisfactory verification accuracy. The dataset
will be made available to the research community for promoting additional
research.Comment: 8 pages, 12 figures, 6 tables. Best poster award at BTAS 201
Active Authentication using an Autoencoder regularized CNN-based One-Class Classifier
Active authentication refers to the process in which users are unobtrusively
monitored and authenticated continuously throughout their interactions with
mobile devices. Generally, an active authentication problem is modelled as a
one class classification problem due to the unavailability of data from the
impostor users. Normally, the enrolled user is considered as the target class
(genuine) and the unauthorized users are considered as unknown classes
(impostor). We propose a convolutional neural network (CNN) based approach for
one class classification in which a zero centered Gaussian noise and an
autoencoder are used to model the pseudo-negative class and to regularize the
network to learn meaningful feature representations for one class data,
respectively. The overall network is trained using a combination of the
cross-entropy and the reconstruction error losses. A key feature of the
proposed approach is that any pre-trained CNN can be used as the base network
for one class classification. Effectiveness of the proposed framework is
demonstrated using three publically available face-based active authentication
datasets and it is shown that the proposed method achieves superior performance
compared to the traditional one class classification methods. The source code

PATH: Person Authentication using Trace Histories
In this paper, a solution to the problem of Active Authentication using trace
histories is addressed. Specifically, the task is to perform user verification
on mobile devices using historical location traces of the user as a function of
time. Considering the movement of a human as a Markovian motion, a modified
Hidden Markov Model (HMM)-based solution is proposed. The proposed method,
namely the Marginally Smoothed HMM (MSHMM), utilizes the marginal probabilities
of location and timing information of the observations to smooth-out the
emission probabilities while training. Hence, it can efficiently handle
unforeseen observations during the test phase. The verification performance of
this method is compared to a sequence matching (SM) method , a Markov
Chain-based method (MC) and an HMM with basic Laplace Smoothing (HMM-lap).
Experimental results using the location information of the UMD Active
Authentication Dataset-02 (UMDAA02) and the GeoLife dataset are presented. The
proposed MSHMM method outperforms the compared methods in terms of equal error
rate (EER). Additionally, the effects of different parameters on the proposed
method are discussed.Comment: 8 pages, 9 figures. Best Paper award at IEEE UEMCON 201
Deep Feature-based Face Detection on Mobile Devices
We propose a deep feature-based face detector for mobile devices to detect
user's face acquired by the front facing camera. The proposed method is able to
detect faces in images containing extreme pose and illumination variations as
well as partial faces. The main challenge in developing deep feature-based
algorithms for mobile devices is the constrained nature of the mobile platform
and the non-availability of CUDA enabled GPUs on such devices. Our
implementation takes into account the special nature of the images captured by
the front-facing camera of mobile devices and exploits the GPUs present in
mobile devices without CUDA-based frameorks, to meet these challenges.Comment: ISBA 201
On the use of SIFT features for face authentication
Several pattern recognition and classification techniques
have been applied to the biometrics domain. Among them,
an interesting technique is the Scale Invariant Feature
Transform (SIFT), originally devised for object recognition.
Even if SIFT features have emerged as a very powerful image
descriptors, their employment in face analysis context
has never been systematically investigated.
This paper investigates the application of the SIFT approach
in the context of face authentication. In order to determine
the real potential and applicability of the method,
different matching schemes are proposed and tested using
the BANCA database and protocol, showing promising results
