Abstract

We have created a system which utilizes a pair of sensor-outfitted gloves to test for the performance of a series of multi-person gestures known as a "secret handshake." The fact that a new user of the system is required to rehearse the handshake performance with someone who is already experienced in performing it adds a novel layer of security to information access which is inherently social.
