TECHNOLOGIES FOR ENHANCED USER AUTHENTICATION USING ADVANCED SENSOR MONITORING

摘要

Technologies for information security include a computing device with one or more sensors. The computing device may authenticate a user and, after successful authentication, analyze sensor data to determine whether it is likely that the user authenticated under duress. If so, the computing device performs a security operation such as generating an alert or presenting false but plausible data to the user. Additionally or alternatively, the computing device, within a trusted execution environment, may monitor sensor data and apply a machine-learning classifier to the sensor data to identify an elevated risk of malicious attack. For example, the classifier may identify potential user identification fraud. The computing device may trigger a security response if elevated risk of attack is detected. For example, the trusted execution environment may trigger increased authentication requirements or increased anti-theft monitoring for the computing device. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

1. A computing device for coerced authentication response, the computing device comprising:
an authentication module to verify a user authentication factor provided by a user; a coercion detection module to (i) analyze sensor data to generate a coercion detection score in response to verifying the user authentication factor, wherein the sensor data is indicative of a physical condition of the user of the computing device while the user provided the user authentication factor, and (ii) determine whether the coercion detection score has a predetermined relationship to a threshold coercion detection score; and a security response module to perform a security operation in response to a determination that the coercion detection score has the predetermined relationship to the threshold coercion detection score.
