Many mobile manufacturing companies now a days providing bio-metric authentication facilities such as fingerprint, face and voice recognition along with traditional password and draw pattern on touch screen. Due to rapid advancement of technology, we are capable to look at specific cognitive parameters, behavioral bio-metric authentication. By leveraging above, banks are protecting users from cyber attacks, fraudsters. Of course without impacting the end user experiences.
Few products have been developed using which mobile users profile can be created. In those profile information, no personal information are included. Instead scrolling pattern on touch screen, device holding pattern, hand size, information gather from Accelerometer are captured. It is a feature where we can capture device motion in the x, y, and z direction.
The mobile device can validate all the above before provide access to the mobile applications and protect the user from cyber attacker, financial fraudsters. Presently, the company named BioCatch has developed and released commercial software products to address above.
