Abstract

Authentication for the purposes of security has taken giant strides since the introduction of Biometrics to help identify people by their behavioral and physiological features. From organizations and corporations to educational institutes, electronic resources, and even crime scenes, Biometrics offers a wide application scope to detect fraud attempts. This paper proposes a research path to achieve the task of authenticating users that are working in a haptic-based environment. The field of Biometrics can be divided into two main classes of human features. Birth-given characteristics like fingerprints and facial features cannot be developed or altered by humans. Behavioral characteristics such as hand signature and voice fall into the second class [1]. The work presented in this paper pursues the latter class and specifically studies how a person reacts to using daily devices or tools. The fact that we can exploit people's habits in handling devices to detect identity was the hypothesis that motivated this work.
