Abstract
System, method, and device of detecting identity of a user and authenticating a user; as well as detecting a possible attacker or impostor, and differentiating among users of an electronic device or of a computerized service. A mobile or portable electronic device is utilized to capture a self-taken image of a user, which is utilized as a user-authentication factor. The accelerometer and gyroscope of the mobile device, sense and measure spatial device properties during, before or after the submission of the self-image authentication factor; and based on such spatial device properties, the system determines liveness of the user, freshness of the submitted self-image, and possibly differentiates between a legitimate user and an attacker. Similarly, spatial device properties that accompany the entry or the submission of a biometric sample, such as fingerprint scan or retina scan, are used to detect liveness or freshness or authenticity of such biometric samples, and are used to differentiate between a legitimate user and an attacker.
