AwareLESS authentication: insensible input based authentication

ABSTRACT

To increase the security of handheld devices, we propose awareLESS authentication. Since insensible input prevents the leakage of the key information, it can provide more secure authentication scheme. Experiments that used a pressure sensor show that users can input a preset rhythm by insensible finger motion, and the boundary between insensible and sensible is extended by adding vibration while input.
