Smartwatch User Identification as a Means of Authentication

User provided passwords are a sources of insecurity in existing computer systems due to a compromise between security and ease of use. Multi-factor authentication attempts to strengthen this weakness, but users fail to implement it due to inconvenience. One possible solution is to use gestures as a form of authentication. We show that it is possible to distinguish between gestures as well as distinguishing between users performing the same gesture. Thus, a gesture based second level authentication scheme is a viable solution.
