Abstract
Methods and systems for authenticating and continuously re-authenticating users are disclosed. Most software applications executing on mobile devices only require a user to provide identification information (e.g., user ID and password) at the outset of launching the application, and infrequently or never subsequently request user identification information. The methods and systems described herein provide continuous protection of user identities using a combination of touch-based biometric sensor data, motion sensor data, and implicit mobile device data.
