Abstract
Authentication involves collecting information relating to a user's behavior relative to a mobile device carried by the user, over a number of time periods that correspond to each other. An authentication technique includes processing the collected information to generate baseline data representing typical user behavior. The authentication technique includes collecting additional information relating to the user's behavior relative to the mobile device over another time period that corresponds to the time periods used to generate the baseline data. The additional information relating to the user's behavior is compared to the baseline data, and a difference between the additional information and the baseline data is determined. An authentication procedure is then applied based on the difference. The authentication may be performed by a mobile device such as a smartphone.
