Abstract
Implicit authentication (IA) transparently authenticates users by utilizing their behavioral data sampled from various sensors. Identifying the illegitimate user through constantly analyzing current users’ behavior, IA adds another layer of protection to the smart device. Due to the diversity of human behavior, existing research tends to utilize multiple features to identify users, which is less efficient. Irrelevant features may increase the system delay and reduce the authentication accuracy. However, dynamically choosing the best suitable features for each user (personal features) requires a massive calculation, making it infeasible in the real environment. In this paper, we propose EchoIA to find personal features with a small amount of calculation by leveraging user feedback derived from the correct rate of inputted passwords. By analyzing the feedback, EchoIA can deduce the true identities of current users and achieve a human-centered implicit authentication. In the authentication phase, our approach maintains transparency, which is the major advantage of IA. In the past two years, we conducted a comprehensive experiment to evaluate EchoIA. We compared it with four state-of-the-art IA schemes in the aspect of authentication accuracy and efficiency. The experiment results show that EchoIA has better authentication accuracy (93%) and less energy consumption (23-h battery lifetimes) than other IA schemes.
