Introduction to Authentication using Behavioral Biometrics

Abstract

The trend of ubiquitous computing goes in parallel with ubiquitous authentication, as users must confirm their identity several times a day on their devices. Passwords are increasingly superseded by biometrics for their inherent drawbacks, and Behavioral Biometrics are particularly promising for increased usability and user experience. This course provides participants with an introduction to the overall topic, covering all phases of creating novel authentication schemes. We introduce important aspects of evaluating Behavioral Biometrics and provide an overview of technical machine-learning techniques in a hands-on session, inviting practitioners and researchers to extend their knowledge of Behavioral Biometrics.
