Abstract

Secure authentication is an important part of our everyday interaction with computers. While the traditional password or pin-code still dominates this area, there has been a move towards more novel forms of authentication including gestures and biometric finger printing. In this paper we present the use of a wearable device with localized vibration as a method for authentication that is both secure and discreet and which removes the need to memorise pin codes or passwords. An initial user study found that participants were open to this kind of device and interaction.
