- This paper explores active authentication as a novel alternative to common PIN and password approaches. A novel feasibility study is presented where biometric data derived from ongoing user behaviour are continuously matched against a stored behavioural profile such that access to the device is denied after several behavioural mismatches. This important research achieved high international visibility with many groups subsequently attempting similar approaches. Active authentication is now a strong field of research in Cyber Security. The paper contributed to attracting an EPSRC-funded project (EP/K03345X/1) investigating behavioral biometrics.
