“…ese are useful to make future results more accessible to the scientific community and allow research papers to be more homogeneous and accessible. An unbiased systematic review also points to the most relevant research results in the field, and it is an initial point for researchers in the area [5]. is paper also aims to provide a taxonomy of existing CA approaches.…”

Nowadays, the Zero Trust model has become one of the standard security models. This paradigm stipulates as mandatory the protection of each endpoint, looking for providing security to all the network. To meet this end, it is necessary to guarantee the integrity of the access control systems. One possibility for bringing security to the different endpoints is continuous authentication, as an access control system. Continuous authentication is the set of technologies capable of determining if a user’s identity remains in time; whether he is the legitimate user (i.e., the only one who should know the secret credentials) or the identity has been impersonated by someone else after the authentication’s process was completed. Continuous authentication does not require the active participation of the user. Aiming to identify the different technologies involved in continuous authentication’s implementations, evaluation methods, and its use cases, this paper presents a systematic review that synthesizes the state of the art. This review is conducted to get a picture about which data sources could allow continuous authentication, in which systems it has been successfully implemented, and which are the most adequate ways to process the data. This review also identifies the defining dimensions of continuous authentication systems.

“…We start from the following research question: What accessibility evaluation standards have been used by developers to create serious web-based games? This study defines the query strings that allow finding the most significant research related to accessibility in serious games [9]. To determine the query string, we apply the structure in terms of population, intervention, comparison, and outcome (PICO) [10].…”

Web-Based Serious Games and Accessibility: A Systematic Literature Review

Nowadays, serious games, called training or learning games, have been incorporated into teaching and learning processes. Due to the increase of their use, the need to guarantee their accessibility arises in order to include people with disabilities in the educational environments in an integral way. There are reviews of the literature on video games but not on web-based serious games. Serious games are different from the previous ones because their educational processes allow reinforcing learning. This literature review was conducted using the recommendations for systematic reviews proposed by Kitchenham and Petersen. Three independent reviewers searched the ACM Digital Library, IEEE Xplore, Scopus, and Web of Science databases for the most relevant articles published between 2000 and 2020. Review selection and extraction were made using an interactive team approach. We applied the study selection process’s flowchart adapted from the PRISMA statement to filter in three stages. This systematic literature review provides researchers and practitioners with the current state of web-based serious games and accessibility, considering cognitive, motor, and sensory disabilities.

“…Video games accessibility is an undeveloped field, since games with the strongest attainability option are developed for a specific segment of people and not for general public [8]. Even though accessible options could be implemented, there are not part of the main focusing in game coding yet.…”

“…When UAP is activated, the focus of the button with the highest priority is selected as can be seen in Figure 7. Further than UAP usage, in order to accomplish more accessible guidelines [8] in this project decided the implementation of hotkeys for plugin's enable and disable functions. Considering keyboard typing characteristics it had been determined that F and J buttons are the most suitable for this functionality, due to a small relief these keys has.…”

Today, the video game industry is one of the most profitable business markets in the world. Video games are not only being used as a means of entertainment but also to reinforce education. Even though there are unbroken barriers for disabled people to use this kind of applications. Lack of accessible technologies and functions are real problems and a way of discrimination. It is a challenge for every software development organization, even for those who focuses in video game line of work. Many impaired people enjoy playing games in despite of their disabilities; however, some limitations appear when they start to play. This article presents an approach for an accessible video game developing, using Unity Engine and some of its accessibility complements to implement some functions to get better the player experience. This way, people who suffer of visual and hearing disability can be able to play and learn. Within the spectrum of disabilities this project covers are; visual and hearing, multiple variants of color-blindness and reduced vision problems. A series of settings options will have implemented with the final purpose of giving users an easier way to interact with the video game. It should be emphasized that game mechanics are based on various parameters to offer accessibility as brightness reduction, contrast and font-size adjustment, and more. Disability simulation tests will have done in order to prove the video game functionality. This research tries to increase the accessibility for people with impairments in the world of video games.
