Rhythm-based authentication scheme on smart devices

Abstract

Due to computing power and advances of smart devices, recently uses of smart-phone have been rapidly increasing. Smart devices (smartphones and tablet PC etc.) threats such as a personal information leakage and fraudulent use of smart devices have also increased. So, effective measures are needed to address security issues of smart devices—authentication, access control, prevention from the attackers. In this paper, we proposed a rhythm-based user authentication scheme on smart devices. The proposed scheme complements the vulnerabilities of the existing schemes, and provides authentication that ensures availability. In additional, it provides stronger security and greater convenience.
