Abstract:Earables are a relatively new tool in mobile computing. They are more and more used wirelessly to connect to phones and other devices. Listening to music comes to mind. But they can also be used as sensors to collect data. This data can be used for interesting purposes. User experience can be more seamless when earables become smarter and can make decisions based on the data they gather. But could the information that they collect also be used to make assumptions about the users’ identity? That is the focus of this research. It explores methods to analyse movement data from earables and machine learning is used in this process. The research gives insight into to what extent the IMU data can be useful in determining the identity of the user and thus providing necessary information for the authentication process. Different machine learning algorithms are be implemented and tested for their suitability.
