• Title: Good Vibes! Towards Phone-to-User Authentication Through Wristwatch Vibrations
• Authors: Jakob Dittrich, Rainhard Dieter Findling,
• Abstract summary: We present GoodVibes authentication, a variant of mobile device-to-user authentication, where the user's phone authenticates to the user through their wristwatch vibrating in their pre-selected authentication vibration pattern. We implement GoodVibes authentication as an Android prototype, evaluate different authentication scenarios with 30 participants, and find users to be able to well recognize and distinguish their authentication vibration pattern from different patters, from unrelated vibrations, and from the pattern being absent.

• Abstract: While mobile devices frequently require users to authenticate to prevent unauthorized access, mobile devices typically do not authenticate to their users. This leaves room for users to unwittingly interact with different mobile devices. We present GoodVibes authentication, a variant of mobile device-to-user authentication, where the user's phone authenticates to the user through their wristwatch vibrating in their pre-selected authentication vibration pattern. We implement GoodVibes authentication as an Android prototype, evaluate different authentication scenarios with 30 participants, and find users to be able to well recognize and distinguish their authentication vibration pattern from different patters, from unrelated vibrations, and from the pattern being absent.

  We propose to let each mobile device maintain a user-specific distribution to dynamically generate user embeddings. To prevent the cloud from tracking users via uploaded embeddings, the local distributions of different users should either be derived from a linearly dependent space. Evaluation on both public and industrial datasets reveals a remarkable improvement in accuracy from incorporating anonymous user embeddings.

  This paper presents a study on the account settings of Google and Apple users. Considering the multi-factor authentication configuration and recovery options, we analyzed the account security and lock-out risks. Our results provide insights into the usage of multi-factor authentication in practice, show significant security differences between Google and Apple accounts, and reveal that many users would miss access to their accounts when losing a single authentication device.

  Service providers must authenticate their users, although individuals may wish to maintain privacy. Preserving privacy while performing authentication is challenging, particularly where adversaries can use biometric data to train transformation tools. We introduce a secure, flexible privacy-preserving system to capture and store an on-device fingerprint of the users' raw signals.

  Federated User Verification (FedUV) is a framework in which users jointly learn a set of vectors and maximize the correlation of their instance embeddings with a secret linear combination of those vectors. We show that choosing the linear combinations from the codewords of an error-correcting code allows users to collaboratively train the model without revealing their embedding vectors.
