Eyepass - eye-stroke authentication for public terminals

Authentication on public terminals e.g. on ATMs and ticket vending machines is a common practice. Due to the weaknesses of the traditional authentication approaches PIN and password, it is possible that other people gain access to the authentication information and thus to the users' personal data. This is mainly due to the physical interaction with the terminals, which enables various manipulations on these devices. In this paper, we present EyePass, an authentication mechanism based on PassShape and eye-gestures that has been created to overcome these problems by eliminating the physical connection to the terminals. EyePass additionally assists the users by providing easy-to-remember PassShapes instead of PINs or passwords. We present the concept, the prototype and the first evaluations performed. Additionally, the future work on the evaluation is outlined and expected results are discussed.
