Toward The Systematization Of Active Authentication Research, Daniel Fleming Gerrity
Toward The Systematization Of Active Authentication Research, Daniel Fleming Gerrity
Master's Theses
Authentication is the vital link between your real self and your digital self. As our digital selves become ever more powerful, the price of failing authentication grows. The most common authentication protocols are static data and employed only once at login. This allows for authentication to be spoofed just once to gain access to an entire user session. Behaviometric protocols continuously consume a user’s behavior as a token of authentication and can be applied throughout a session, thereby eliminating a fixed token to spoof. Research into these protocols as viable forms of authentication is relatively recent and is being conducted …
