Continuous Authentication on Smartphone by Means of Periocular and Virtual Keystroke

Abstract

Nowadays, biometric recognition and verification methods are everywhere, trying to face the security issues that constantly affect our digital-every day life. In addition, many special-purpose applications, also need a constant (continuous) verification of the user in order to avoid that a sensitive operation is executed by an impostor; as an example let think to banking operations. In this paper, a continuous authentication method on mobile device is presented, which uses smartphone gestures data for the constant verification of the user and periocular data for a second step verification module. The results executed over two datasets show a verification accuracy of 83% and 94% approximately, respectively for smartphone touch features and periocular data.
