Abstract

This paper presents two methods of implicit authentication during answering an incoming call based on user behavior biometrics. Such methods allow to increase usability of authentication against common PIN or graphical password. Also, a concept of authentication system based on presented methods is proposed. The paper shows that user’s touch dynamics and movement of the hand towards the ear when accepting the call provide all necessary information for authentication and there is no need for user to enter a PIN or graphical password.
