Abstract

Multi-party applications are becoming popular due to the development of mobile smart devices. In this work, we explore PVKE (Physical Vibration Keyless Entry), a novel pairing mechanism, through which users are able to utilize smart devices to detect a vibration from the smart watch, so as to use information from the vibration to deconstruct security keys. Thus, we perform device pairing without complicated operations. We show that the recognition accuracy of vibration key detection achieves 95% through solid experiments.
