Abstract
In this chapter we evaluate mobile active authentication based on an ensemble of biometrics and behavior-based profiling signals. We consider seven different data channels and their combination. Touch dynamics (touch gestures and keystroking), accelerometer, gyroscope, WiFi, GPS location and app usage are all collected during human-mobile interaction to authenticate the users. We evaluate two approaches: one-time authentication and active authentication. In one-time authentication, we employ the information of all channels available during one session. For active authentication we take advantage of mobile user behavior across multiple sessions by updating a confidence value of the authentication score. Our experiments are conducted on the semi-uncontrolled UMDAA-02 database. This database comprises of smartphone sensor signals acquired during natural human-mobile interaction. Our results show that different traits can be complementary in terms of mobile user authentication and multimodal systems clearly increase the performance when compared to individual biometrics systems with accuracies ranging from 82.2% to 98.0% depending on the authentication scenario.
The present chapter is adapted from the conference paper A. Acien et al. “MultiLock: Mobile Active Authentication based on Multiple Biometric and Behavioral Patterns”, in ACM Intl. Conf. on Multimedia, Workshop on Multimodal Understanding and Learning for Embodied Applications (MULEA), pp. 53–59, Nice, France, October 2019. The new material here includes Table I and Sect. 5.3.

Notes
- 1.
Indicate the value below which a given percentage of observation (samples in this case) in a group of observation falls.
- 2.
EER refers to the value where False Acceptance Rate (percentage of impostors classified as genuine) and False Rejection Rate (percentage of genuine users classified as impostors) are equal.
