Abstract
The usage of interactive public displays has increased including the number of sensitive applications and, hence, the demand for user authentication methods. In this context, gaze-based authentication was shown to be effective and more secure, but significantly slower than touch- or gesture-based methods. We implement a calibration-free and fast authentication method for situated displays based on saccadic eye movements. In a user study (n = 10), we compare our new method with CueAuth from Khamis et al. (IMWUT’18), an authentication method based on smooth pursuit eye movements. The results show a significant improvement in accuracy from 82.94% to 95.88%. At the same time, we found that the entry speed can be increased enormously with our method, on average, 18.28s down to 5.12s, which is comparable to touch-based input.
