Method for continuous user authentication with wearables

Abstract

Systems and methods for continuous and transparent verification, authentication, and identification of individuals are provided. A method can include detecting a signal from a sensor embedded in a wearable device, determining a set of features unique to the wearer of the wearable device, creating a user profile of that individual, detecting a signal from a sensor of an unknown individual, determining a set of features unique to the unknown individual, and comparing the features of the unknown individual to the previously created user profile.

I completed my PhD in the Cyber-Physical Systems Security (CSL) lab under the supervision of Professor Selcuk Uluagac in 2020 at Florida International University (FIU), USA. Before that, I received my BSc from Electrical and Electronics Engineering at Middle East Technical University, Turkey in 2015 with a minor in Mathematics. My research interests include alternative authentication methods (e.g., continuous authentication), IoT security and privacy, and privacy-preserving technologies (e.g., homomorphic encryption).
