Abstract
Smartphones, are currently equipped with high-performance hardware to process large amounts of data and provide most of the functions provided by desktop PCs. In addition, the smartphones enable quick user authentication through biometric information collected from embedded sensors. However, the biometric authentication method is sometimes rejected due to social and cultural environment, security vulnerabilities, and misrecognition rate. Thus, conventional authentication methods such as PIN and pattern authentication are still mainly used. Consider the latest foldable and bendable smartphones. These devices may be vulnerable to social engineering attacks as they use conventional authentication methods without considering their form factors. In this study, therefore, we propose an authentication method using partial elements of PIN and pattern authentication as a way to increase the security of the conventional authentication methods and consider the recent form factors. According to the performance evaluation results, our method provides improved safety compared to the conventional methods.
