Sensor Aided Authentication

The sharing of sensor data globally becomes possible by the development of wireless sensor network, cloud computing, and other related technologies. These new trends can also benefit information security. In this paper, the sensor data is involved in the authentication procedure which is one main component of security systems. Sensor aided password is proposed. In addition, the architecture for sensor aided authentication corresponding to the simple authentication scenario is also designed. Sensor data aided password generation and utilization bring convenience to users without weakening the password strength.
