The importance of human dynamics in the future user authentication

Authentication is one of the essential mechanism of a typical security model. It identifies the user legitimacy accessing any service over the network. Authentication can usually be done by a simple single-factor authentication method such as a password. Unfortunately, it is inadequate to ensure security when accessing variant resources and services across the Internet. Therefore, for users to authenticate their identity, there is always a need to work on a different security method that could be used as an extra layer of security can be implemented. This paper presents a human dynamic-based user authentication, relying on the assumption that the actions and interactions of personal, interpersonal, and social factors of a user would be very hard to impersonate. Furthermore, the study includes experiments to help understand human dynamics in dealing with individuals, groups, and societies to be the essential aspects for the new generation user authentication.
