Improving the Evaluation of Shoulder Surfing Attacks
Leon Bošnjak, Bošnjak Brumen · 2018
Taking authentication methods' resilience against shoulder surfing attacks into account has become a necessity when evaluating novel textual and graphical schemes. Researchers are often quick to declare their new method safe against these attacks, while paying little attention to how the obtained results were measured and whether they are comparable to those of other methods. In this work, we highlight these issues and develop a solution: an ensemble of vulnerability metrics assessing methods' susceptibility to shoulder surfing attacks. We believe our approach provides insight into how shoulder surfing experiments could be improved in the future.
