Implicit Sensor-based Authentication of Smartphone Users with Smartwatch
Smartphones are now frequently used by end-users as the portals to
cloud-based services, and smartphones are easily stolen or co-opted by an
attacker. Beyond the initial log-in mechanism, it is highly desirable to
re-authenticate end-users who are continuing to access security-critical
services and data, whether in the cloud or in the smartphone. But attackers who
have gained access to a logged-in smartphone have no incentive to
re-authenticate, so this must be done in an automatic, non-bypassable way.
Hence, this paper proposes a novel authentication system, iAuth, for implicit,
continuous authentication of the end-user based on his or her behavioral
characteristics, by leveraging the sensors already ubiquitously built into
smartphones. We design a system that gives accurate authentication using
machine learning and sensor data from multiple mobile devices. Our system can
achieve 92.1% authentication accuracy with negligible system overhead and less
than 2% battery consumption.Comment: Published in Hardware and Architectural Support for Security and
