Abstract
Bayesian continuous user authentication can be obtained by receiving observed behavior data that collectively characterizes interaction of an active user with at least one computing device or software application. A sequence of events within the observed behavior data can be identified and scored using a universal background model that generates first scores that characterize an extent to which each event or history of events is anomalous for a particular population of users. Further, the events are scored using a user model that generates second scores that characterizes an extent to which each event or history of events is anomalous for the particular user who owns the account. The first scores and the second scores are smoothed using a smoothing function. A probability that the active user is the account owner associated with the user model is determined based on the smoothed first scores and the smoothed second scores.
