Wi-Fi signals-based person identification attracts increasing attention in the booming Internet-of-Things era mainly due to its pervasiveness and passiveness. Most previous work applies gaits extracted from WiFi distortions caused by the…
Falling, especially in the elderly, is a critical issue to care for and surveil. There have been many studies focusing on fall detection. However, from our survey, there is still no research indicating the prior-fall activities, which we…
We propose an enhanced version of the Authentication with Built-in Camera (ABC) protocol by employing a deep learning solution based on built-in motion sensors. The standard ABC protocol identifies mobile devices based on the photo-response…
With the increasing use of smartphones in our daily lives, these devices have become capable of performing many complex tasks. Concerning the need for continuous monitoring of vital signs, especially for the elderly or those with certain…
As mobile devices have become indispensable in modern life, mobile security is becoming much more important. Traditional password or PIN-like point-of-entry security measures score low on usability and are vulnerable to brute force and…
In the past decade, the cyber-crime related to mobile devices has increased. Mobile devices, especially the ones running on Android operating system are particularly interesting to malware creators, as the users often keep the biggest…
We devised a mobile biometric-based authentication system only relying on local processing. Our Android open source solution explores the capability of current smartphones to acquire, process and match fingerprints using only its built-in…
As smart wearable devices become increasingly powerful and pervasive, protecting user privacy on these devices has emerged as a critical challenge. While existing authentication mechanisms are available for interaction-rich devices such as…
Current smartphone operating systems regulate application permissions by prompting users on an ask-on-first-use basis. Prior research has shown that this method is ineffective because it fails to account for context: the circumstances under…
This study provides evidence that personality can be reliably predicted from activity data collected through mobile phone sensors. Employing a set of well informed indicators calculable from accelerometer records and movement patterns, we…
The technological advancement in wireless health monitoring through the direct contact of the skin allows the development of light-weight wrist-worn wearable devices to be equipped with different sensors such as photoplethysmography (PPG)…
Human motion detection is getting considerable attention in the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) driven healthcare systems. Human motion can be used to provide remote healthcare solutions for vulnerable people by identifying particular…
Previous work has investigated the particularities of security practices within specific user communities defined based on country of origin, age, prior tech abuse, and economic status. Their results highlight that current security…
Information security awareness (ISA) is a practice focused on the set of skills, which help a user successfully mitigate a social engineering attack. Previous studies have presented various methods for evaluating the ISA of both PC and…
Smartphone users and application behaviors add high pressure to apply smart techniques that stabilize the network capacity and consequently improve the end-user experience. The massive increase in smartphone penetration engenders signalling…
This paper conducts an extensive review of biometric user authentication literature, addressing three primary research questions: (1) commonly used biometric traits and their suitability for specific applications, (2) performance factors…
As the number of smart devices that surround us increases, so do the opportunities to create smart socially-aware systems. In this context, mobile devices can be used to collect data about students and to better understand how their…
Following the increasing popularity of mobile ecosystems, cybercriminals have increasingly targeted them, designing and distributing malicious apps that steal information or cause harm to the device's owner. Aiming to counter them,…
This paper discusses how usage patterns and preferences of inhabitants can be learned efficiently to allow smart homes to autonomously achieve energy savings. We propose a frequent sequential pattern mining algorithm suitable for real-life…
Human Activity Recognition (HAR) is a powerful tool for understanding human behaviour. Applying HAR to wearable sensors can provide new insights by enriching the feature set in health studies, and enhance the personalisation and…
