Short-Term History Based Authentication Using Smartphone Sensors and Apps

Abstract

Secrete-QA could be a security primarily based application. A security question is asked once the user fails to login or forgets his/her password and to reset the password. A security question could be a secondary authentication, but these queries is guessed simply by an admirer or exposed to a strangers who might recognize our personal info like friends, relations or those that will access our personal info through public on-line tools. We will build these security queries additional customized by using the privilege of accessing our Smartphone sensors and apps while not affecting the user’s privacy. Three types of questions are generated that is, Yes/No questions, Multiple Choice questions and WH questions. An android app is created for the frequent updating of the Smartphone data and questions are asked in the web part using this updated data.The questions are generated by considering the legacy apps, GPS, calendar, app details etc.These have the mostmemorability to the users and high robustness to attacks.
