A Framework Assessing the Effect of User Emotions on Touch Gesture Behavioural Biometric Authentication

Abstract

Smartphone security constitutes a necessary requirement due to the sensitive information they contain and the important tasks they perform. Behavioral biometric technology such as touch gesture authentication is being increasingly researched covering a wide range of privacy and security systems. However, several behavior factors such as emotions and their influence on touch gesture user authentication performance has remained unaddressed. In this paper, we examine the effect of emotions on user behavior that in turn influences the
