Multi-factor authentication for wearables: Configuring system parameters with risk function

Abstract

<p>The users of today are already about to enter the era of highly integrated modern wearable devices-the time when smart accessorieswill, in turn, push aside regular Smartphones and Tablets bringinga variety of new security challenges. The number of simultaneously used bio-sensors, both integrated into smart wearables andconnected over wireless interfaces, allows novel opportunities forMulti-factor Authentication (MFA) of the user. flis manuscriptproposes a solution for conflguring the MFA based on the averagedirect and indirect losses risk analysis. the example applicationof Bayesian function for MFA presents the applicability of the proposed framework for the utilization with wearables.</p>
