Abstract
Passive and effortless authentication of the owner of wearable devices can be achieved by building a personalized model of his/her movements during gait periods. In this paper, an authentication method based on the distances between a set of body-worn devices is proposed. The method assumes that no prior information is available about users different from the legitimate one. One-class classification methods are used to distinguish the gait segments of the owner from the gait segments of possible impostors. Experimental results show that accuracy values as high as ~87-91% can be obtained. The impact of different walking styles (normal, fast, slow, and carrying a bag) is also evaluated.
