ABSTRACT
The ubiquity of mobile devices nowadays necessitates securing the apps and user information stored therein. However, existing one-time entry-point authentication mechanisms and enhanced security mechanisms such as Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) are prone to a wide vector of attacks. Furthermore, MFA also introduces friction to the user experience. Therefore, what is needed is continuous authentication that once passing the entry-point authentication, will protect the mobile devices on a continuous basis by confirming the legitimate owner of the device and locking out detected impostor activities. Hence, more research is needed on the dynamic methods of mobile security such as behavioral biometrics-based continuous authentication, which is cost-effective and passive as the data utilized to authenticate users are logged from the phone's sensors. However, currently, there are not many mobile authentication datasets to perform benchmarking research. In this work, we share two novel mobile datasets (Clarkson University (CU) Mobile datasets I and II) consisting of multi-modality behavioral biometrics data from 49 and 39 users respectively (88 users in total). Each of our datasets consists of modalities such as swipes, keystrokes, acceleration, gyroscope, and pattern-tracing strokes. These modalities are collected when users are filling out a registration form in sitting both as genuine and impostor users. To exhibit the usefulness of the datasets, we have performed initial experiments on selected individual modalities from the datasets as well as the fusion of simultaneously available modalities.
