Abstract

A method, system, and one or more computer-readable storage media for behavior based authentication for touch screen devices are provided herein. The method includes acquiring a number of training samples corresponding to a first action performed on a touch screen of a touch screen device, wherein the first action includes an input of a signature or a gesture by a legitimate user. The method also includes generating a user behavior model based on the training samples and acquiring a test sample corresponding to a second action performed on the touch screen, wherein the second action includes an input of the signature or the gesture by a user. The method further includes classifying the test sample based on the user behavior model, wherein classifying the test sample includes determining whether the user is the legitimate user or an imposter.
