Mobile devices and technologies have become increasingly popular, offering comparable storage and computational capabilities to desktop computers allowing users to store and interact with sensitive and private information. The security and…
This study investigates the use of accelerometer data from a smart watch to infer an individual's emotional state. We present our preliminary findings on a user study with 50 participants. Participants were primed either with audio-visual…
The lack of standard input interfaces in the Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystems presents a challenge in securing such infrastructures. To tackle this challenge, we introduce a novel behavioral biometric system based on naturally occurring…
In the event of a kidnapping or a medical emergency, a person is often incapacitated to be able to call for help. And it's usually too late before the first responders arrive on-scene. Currently, a vast array of 'safety' devices available…
There is growing concern about how personal data are used when users grant applications direct access to the sensors of their mobile devices. In fact, high resolution temporal data generated by motion sensors reflect directly the activities…
Better access control system security comes at a higher price. It many cases the price is too high for small companies, leaving them vulnerable with cheap and insecure systems. In this work we introduce an alternative access control scheme,…
Smart rings for subtle, reliable finger input offer an attractive path for ubiquitous interaction with wearable computing platforms. However, compared to ordinary rings worn for cultural or fashion reasons, smart rings are much bulkier and…
Gait data captured by inertial sensors have demonstrated promising results on user authentication. However, most existing approaches stored the enrolled gait pattern insecurely for matching with the validating pattern, thus, posed critical…
Near Field Communication (NFC) has enabled mobile phones to emulate contactless smart cards. Similar to contactless smart cards, they are also susceptible to relay attacks. To counter these, a number of methods have been proposed that rely…
In recent years, there has been a shift of interest towards the field of biometric authentication, which proves the identity of the user using their biological characteristics. We explore a novel biometric based on the electrical activity…
