Securing Smart Offices Through an Intelligent and Multi-device Continuous Authentication System

Published in Communications in Computer and Information Science, 2019

Smart Offices promise the improvement of working conditions in terms of efficiency, productivity and facility. However, new cybersecurity challenges arise associated with the new capabilities of Smart Cities. One of the key challenges is the utilisation of continuous and non-invasive authentication mechanisms since traditional authentication methods have important limitations. Thus, to cover these limitations, the main contribution of this paper is the design and deployment of a continuous and intelligent authentication architecture oriented to Smart Offices. The architecture is oriented to the cloud computing paradigm and considers Machine Learning techniques to authenticate users according to their behaviours. Some experiments demonstrated the suitability of the proposed solution when recognising and authenticating different users using a classification algorithm.
