MusicID: A Brainwave-based User Authentication System for Internet of Things
share
We propose MusicID, an authentication solution for smart devices that uses music-induced brainwave patterns as a behavioral biometric modality. We experimentally evaluate MusicID using data collected from real users whilst they are listening to two forms of music; a popular English song and individual's favorite song. We show that an accuracy over 98 identification and an accuracy over 97 by using data collected from a 4-electrode commodity brainwave headset. We further show that a single electrode is able to provide an accuracy of approximately 85 approximately 95 meditation applications, we believe including dry EEG electrodes in smart-headsets is feasible and MusicID has the potential of providing an entry point and continuous authentication framework for upcoming surge of smart-devices mainly driven by Augmented Reality (AR)/Virtual Reality (VR) applications.
