Cheng Bo and his colleagues at the Illinois Institute of Technology have developed a new smartphone software called Silent-Sensethat can identify smartphone owners by the way they tap or swipe across the touchscreen.
Cheng Bo said that Silent Sense uses the phone's built-in sensors to record the unique patterns of pressure, different fingertip sizes and duration and position of each user while interacting with their smartphone. SilentSense showed an accuracy of almost 99% in the tests.
SilentSense software was able to identify the smartphone's owner with 99% accuracy within 10 taps.The researchers stated that the software stops checking the smartphone user's identity when apps and mobile games are being used. However, the software automatically switches on when email or SMS applications are being used.
