- Abstract
In this article we describe how passive authentication factors can be used to improve user authentication experiences. We focus our research on motion, vicinity, and location sensors, but passive authentication is not limited to this set of sensors. We show how their use can also improve security when used in combination with traditional authentication factors. User experiences are better when the device continuously monitors passive authentication factor types because the number of authentication challenges can be reduced for a given set of usage scenarios. We show how multiple factors can be fused and how False Accept Rate (FAR) and False Reject Rate (FRR) relate to confidence. Confidence is useful for determining when it is most appropriate to protect a device resource and to re-prompt the user for authentication credentials. An implementation of our research has been applied to Android* platforms to demonstrate implementation feasibility and usability.
