SPRINGERBRIEFS IN COMPUTER SCIENCE MOBILE AUT...

Mobile Authentication: Problems and Solutions looks at human-to-machine authentication  with a
keen focus on the mobile scenario. Human-to-machine authentication is a startlingly complex
issue. In the old days of computer security-before 2000  the human component was all but
disregarded. It was either assumed that people should and would be able to follow instructions
or that end users were hopeless and would always make mistakes. The truth  of course  is
somewhere in between  which is exactly what makes this topic so enticing. We cannot make
progress with human-to-machine authentication without understanding both humans and machines.
Mobile security is not simply security ported to a handset. Handsets have different constraints
than traditional computers  and are used in a different way. Text entry is more frustrating 
and therefore  it is tempting to use shorter and less complex passwords. It is also harder to
detect spoofing. We need to design with this in mind. We also need to determine how exactly to
integrate biometric readers to reap the maximum benefits from them. This book addresses all of
these issues  and more.
