Abstract

Growing concerns regarding digital security have prioritized effective and secure mobile device authentication. Current methods utilize fingerprint and facial recognition, raising privacy concerns. In contrast with traditional biometric authen-Tication systems, our Acoustic Hand Biometric Authentication System relies on unique hand geometries and the acoustic distortion caused by hand grips of varying pressure. We utilized MATLAB to create a machine learning model that classifies users based on recordings of distorted chirp sounds. Our research demonstrates the viability of a pressure sensitive password that differentiates between a series of strong and normal strength grips in order to authenticate the user.
