Title: | BioGames: a new paradigm and a behavioral biometrics collection tool for research purposes | Authors: | Stylios, Ioannis Chr Kokolakis, Spyros A. Skalkos, Andreas Chatzis, Sotirios P. |
Major Field of Science: | Engineering and Technology | Field Category: | Electrical Engineering - Electronic Engineering - Information Engineering | Keywords: | Behavioral biometrics;BioGames app;BioGames paradigm;Biometrics collection tool;Continuous authentication;Mobile devices | Issue Date: | 2021 | Source: | Information and Computer Security, 2021 | Journal: | Information and Computer Security | Abstract: | Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to present a new paradigm, named BioGames, for the extraction of behavioral biometrics (BB) conveniently and entertainingly. To apply the BioGames paradigm, the authors developed a BB collection tool for mobile devices named BioGames App. The BioGames App collects keystroke dynamics, touch gestures, and motion modalities and is available on GitHub. Interested researchers and practitioners may use it to create their datasets for research purposes. Design/methodology/approach: One major challenge for BB and continuous authentication (CA) research is the lack of actual BB datasets for research purposes. The compilation and refinement of an appropriate set of BB data constitute a challenge and an open problem. The issue is aggravated by the fact that most users are reluctant to participate in long demanding procedures entailed in the collection of research biometric data. As a result, they do not complete the data collection procedure, or they do not complete it correctly. Therefore, the authors propose a new paradigm and introduce a BB collection tool, which they call BioGames, for the extraction of biometric features in a convenient way. The BioGames paradigm proposes a methodology where users play games without participating in an experimental painstaking process. The BioGames App collects keystroke dynamics, touch gestures, and motion modalities. Findings: The authors proposed a new paradigm for the collection of BB on mobile devices and created the BioGames application. The BioGames App is an Android application that collects BB data on mobile devices and sends them to a database. The database design allows multiple users to store their sensor data at any time. Thus, there is no concern about data separation and synchronization. BioGames App is General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) compliant as it collects and processes only anonymous data. Originality/value: The BioGames App is a publicly available tool that combines the keystroke dynamics, touch gestures, and motion modalities. In addition, it uses a methodology where users play games without participating in an experimental painstaking process. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14279/24617 | ISSN: | 20564961 | DOI: | 10.1108/ICS-12-2020-0196 | Rights: | © Emerald | Type: | Article | Affiliation : | University of Aegean Cyprus University of Technology |
