  1. We present a new multimodal, context-based dataset for continuous authentication. The dataset contains 27 subjects, with an age range of [8, 72], where data has been collected across multiple sessions while the subjects are watching videos meant to elicit an emotional response. Collected data includes accelerometer data, heart rate, electrodermal activity, skin temperature, and face videos. We also propose a baseline approach for fair comparisons when using the proposed dataset. The approach uses a combination of a pretrained backbone network with supervised contrastive loss for face. Time-series features are also extracted, from the physiological signals, which are used for classification. This approach, on the proposed dataset, results in an average accuracy, precision, and recall of 76.59%, 88.90, and 53.25, respectively, on electrical signals, and 90.39%, 98.77, and 75.71, respectively on face videos.

  2. Children’s use of computing devices has increased over the past 15 years, requiring age-appropriate user authentication systems. This paper details a research study which investigates continuous authentication systems that do not require user-initiated interactions as an accessible authentication model for not only children users, but users across different age groups, with specific application on personal computing devices.
