Abstract

A module for authenticating a user of a mobile device. The mobile device has an orientation sensor and a touch screen sensor. The module includes: a behavioral biometrics conversion element, used to perform calculation by matching timestamps with a plurality of behavioral data of operations, sensed by the orientation sensor and the touch screen sensor, on the mobile device to acquire a plurality of behavioral biometrics quantities, and convert, by using a statistical method, multiple sets of the behavioral biometrics quantities into a behavioral biometrics pattern in a histogram constructing manner; and an authentication mechanism core element, used to determine whether the behavioral biometrics pattern conforms to a behavioral biometrics model pattern in a histogram manner. The present invention further includes a method and a computer program product for authenticating a user of a smart phone.
