Abstract
Personal Identification Number (PIN) is the most common user-authentication method for the access control of private and commercial applications. The users need to enter PIN information to the applications whenever the users get access to the private services. However, the process imposes a burden on the users and is vulnerable to the potential shoulder-surfing attacks. In order to resolve both problems, we present a continuous authentication method for both smartphone and smartwatch, namely, synchronized authentication. First we analyze the previous smartwatch based authentication and point-out some shortcomings. In the proposed method, we verify the validity of user by analyzing the combined acceleration data of both smartphone and smartwatch. If the monitored sensor data shows the high correlations between them, the user is successfully authenticated. For the authentication test, we used the Samsung Galaxy Note5 and Sony Smartwatch2.
