Title
Context Sensitive Adaptive Authentication
Abstract
We exploit the ability to sense and use context information to augment or replace the traditional static security measures by making them more adaptable to a given context and thereby less intrusive. We demonstrate that by fusing location information obtained from various sources that are associated to the user and are available over time, the confidence in the identity of the user can be increased considerably. In fact, the level of confidence in the identity of the user is related to the probability that the user is at a certain location. This probability is used as a measure to parameterize the authentication level of the user making it thereby much more adaptive to changing situational circumstances. In this paper we describe the theoretical background for a context-sensitive adaptation of authentication and the design and validation of the system that we have developed to adaptively authenticate a user on the basis of the location of his sensed identity tokens.
