With the increased popularity of smartphones, various security threats and privacy leakages targeting them are discovered and investigated. In this work, we present , a framework to authenticate users silently and transparently by exploiting dynamics mined from the user touch behavior biometrics and the micro-movement of the device caused by user's screen-touch actions. We build a "touch-based biometrics" model of the owner by extracting some principle features, and then verify whether the current user is the owner or guest attacker. When using the smartphone, the unique operating dynamics of the user is detected and learnt by collecting the sensor data and touch events silently. When users are mobile, the micro-movement of mobile devices caused by touch is suppressed by that due to the large scale user-movement which will render the touch-based biometrics ineffective. To address this, we integrate a movement-based biometrics for each user with previous touch-based biometrics. We conduct extensive evaluations of our approaches on the Android smartphone, we show that the user identification accuracy is over 99 .
Recently, there are some work address the user identification with behavior biometrics in continuous or implicit manner. In those work, identification services run in background and identify the current user in real time. For example, @cite_8 continuously authenticates users based on 30 behavioral features, including touch features and motion sensor features. In this work, the EER is approximately @math 2 @cite_20 combines motion, voice, location history and multi-touch data to identify users of smartphone, whose average error rate is $3.6 @cite_21 uses a special digital sensor glove to achieve highly accurate continuous identification. Those work use special devices or motion sensors to enrich the identification features to improve the poor accuracy with pure touch information. But they ignore the scenario that the user uses mobile phone while walking, where the micro features caused by touch is suppressed by the large scale movement which will make the accuracy of the exiting methods deteriorate.

Securing the sensitive data stored and accessed from mobile devices makes user authentication a problem of paramount importance. The tension between security and usability renders however the task of user authentication on mobile devices a challenging task. This paper introduces FAST (Fingergestures Authentication System using Touchscreen), a novel touchscreen based authentication approach on mobile devices. Besides extracting touch data from touchscreen equipped smartphones, FAST complements and validates this data using a digital sensor glove that we have built using off-the-shelf components. FAST leverages state-of-the-art classification algorithms to provide transparent and continuous mobile system protection. A notable feature is FAST 's continuous, user transparent post-login authentication. We use touch data collected from 40 users to show that FAST achieves a False Accept Rate (FAR) of 4.66 and False Reject Rate of 0.13 for the continuous post-login user authentication. The low FAR and FRR values indicate that FAST provides excellent post-login access security, without disturbing the honest mobile users. We investigate whether a classifier can continuously authenticate users based on the way they interact with the touchscreen of a smart phone. We propose a set of 30 behavioral touch features that can be extracted from raw touchscreen logs and demonstrate that different users populate distinct subspaces of this feature space. In a systematic experiment designed to test how this behavioral pattern exhibits consistency over time, we collected touch data from users interacting with a smart phone using basic navigation maneuvers, i.e., up-down and left-right scrolling. We propose a classification framework that learns the touch behavior of a user during an enrollment phase and is able to accept or reject the current user by monitoring interaction with the touch screen. The classifier achieves a median equal error rate of 0 for intrasession authentication, 2 -3 for intersession authentication, and below 4 when the authentication test was carried out one week after the enrollment phase. While our experimental findings disqualify this method as a standalone authentication mechanism for long-term authentication, it could be implemented as a means to extend screen-lock time or as a part of a multimodal biometric authentication system.
