Abstract :
ICT and MEMS technology are becoming pervasive. Therefore, wearable sensors are receiving a lot of attention. This raises the feasibility of various sensor-based services. This paper introduces a gait authentication method based on wearable sensors. We capture gait data from a wearable sensor and analyze personal gait characteristics on the basis of the data obtained. We propose and evaluate an authentication algorithm. Results confirm that when the threshold value was 18.4, EER was 23.1%.
