The current PC user authentication uses character password based on user's knowledge. However, this can easily be exploited by password cracking or key-logging programs. In addition, the use of a difficult password and the periodic change of the password make it easy for the user to mistake exposing the password around the PC because it is difficult for the user to remember the password. In order to overcome this, we propose user gesture recognition and challenge-response authentication. We apply user's hand gesture instead of character password. In the challenge-response method, authentication is performed in the form of responding to a quiz, rather than using the same password every time. To apply the hand gesture to challenge-response authentication, the gesture is recognized and symbolized to be used in the quiz response. So we show that this method can be applied to PC user authentication.

When the length of sampling data sequence is too large, the method of gesture recognition based on traditional Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) algorithm will lead to too long calculation time, and the accuracy of recognition result is not high.Support vector machine (SVM) has some shortcomings in precision, Edit Distance on Real Sequences(EDR) algorithm does not guarantee that noise suppression will not suppress effective data.A new method based on Improved Interpolation Dynamic Time Warping (IIDTW)algorithm is proposed to improve the efficiency of gesture recognition and the accuracy of gesture recognition. The results show that the computational efficiency of IIDTW algorithm is more than twice that of SVM-DTW algorithm, the error acceptance rate is FAR reduced by 0.01%, and the error rejection rate FRR is reduced by 0.5%.Gesture recognition based on IIDTW algorithm can achieve better recognition status. If it is applied to unlock mobile phone, it is expected to become a new generation of unlock mode.

In this paper, we propose a novel security system using hand gesture recognition. Proposed system does not create a password as numbers, but instead, it creates unique yet simple pattern created by user's hand movement. Because of the fact that individuals have different range of hand movement, speed, direction, and size while drawing a pattern with their hands, the system will be able to accurately recognize only the authorized user. To evaluate the performance of our system, various patterns were tested and the test showed a satisfying result.

Communication occurs through verbal elements, which usually involve language, as well as non-verbal elements such as facial expressions, eye contact, and gestures. In particular, among these non-verbal elements, gestures are symbolic representations of physical, vocal, and emotional behaviors. This means that gestures can be signals toward a target or expressions of internal psychological processes, rather than simply movements of the body or hands. Moreover, gestures with such properties have been the focus of much research for a new interface in the NUI/NUX field. In this paper, we propose a method for recognizing the number of fingers and detecting the hand region based on the depth information and geometric features of the hand for application to an NUI/NUX. The hand region is detected by using depth information provided by the Kinect system, and the number of fingers is identified by comparing the distance between the contour and the center of the hand region. The contour is detected using the Suzuki85 algorithm, and the number of fingers is calculated by detecting the finger tips in a location at the maximum distance to compare the distances between three consecutive dots in the contour and the center point of the hand. The average recognition rate for the number of fingers is 98.6%, and the execution time is 0.065 ms for the algorithm used in the proposed method. Although this method is fast and its complexity is low, it shows a higher recognition rate and faster recognition speed than other methods. As an application example of the proposed method, this paper explains a Secret Door that recognizes a password by recognizing the number of fingers held up by a user.
