Abstract:

We propose a user-friendly authentication system (KinWrite) that lets users write their passwords in 3D space and captures the handwriting movement using a low cost motion input sensing device — Kinect.  Because of the built-in behavioral biometrics in handwriting, KinWrite allows users to choose short and easy-to-memorize passwords while providing resistance  to password cracking.
