Abstract

User authentication has become an essential security element that enables a wide range of applications in P2P systems for higher security and safety requirements. In previous, many researchers worked on user authentication based on certificates, passwords, and feature-based authentication (e.g. face recognition, fingerprint detection, iris recognition, voice recognition). However, authentication using those technologies may fail because this information can be easily shared among users or synthesized. Also, there are several cyber and cryptography attacks. With the progress of the latest sensor technology, wearable as Microsoft Bands, Fitbit, and Garmin has provided for more information collecting opportunities. From those above point of views, this paper presents a novel user identification system based on the bio signal analysis of arm movement (3-axis accelerometer & 3-axis gyroscope) and electromyography (EMG) signal using Myo armband as a wearable user authentication system in P2P system that identifies users based on the bio-signal of movement of a person’s arm. In this study, the gesture and EMG signals are obtained from the sensor and denoised using wavelet denoising algorithm. The denoised signals are analyzed using the envelope and cepstrum analysis for extracting the potential feature vector. Finally, the feature vector is used to train and identify a user using multi-class support vector machine (MC-SVM) with different kernel function for user authentication. For validating the proposed authentication model, signals are obtained from the arm movements, i.e., directions and hand gesture data using acceleration, gyroscope and EMG sensors of several subjects. According to the experimental results, the proposed model shows satisfactory performance. To evaluate the efficiency of the proposed systems, we measure and compare its classification accuracy with state-of-the-art algorithms. And the proposed algorithm outperforms with others.
