Abstract

Mobile devices have become integral to daily life, necessitating robust user authentication methods to safeguard personal information. In this study, we present a new approach to mobile user authentication utilizing ear-touch interactions. Our novel system employs an analytical algorithm to authenticate users based on features extracted from ear-touch images. We conducted extensive evaluations on a dataset comprising ear-touch images from 92 subjects, achieving an average equal error rate of 0.04, indicative of high accuracy and reliability. Our results suggest that ear-touch-based authentication is a feasible and effective method for securing mobile devices.
