Abstract
Mobile smartphone devices are vulnerable to masquerade attacks because they can be easily lost or stolen. This paper introduces a technique for detecting unauthorized users by modeling the legitimate user's typical behavior when using their mobile phone. The user's behavior model augments typical authentication mechanisms (such as PINs or fingerprints) to provide continuous authentication while a device is in use. A preliminary human user study was conducted in order to assess the viability of our application usage oriented authentication approach. The results of our initial experiment demonstrate that our system is capable of detecting an unauthorized user within 2 minutes.
