*** Talk Summary ***
In this webinar, the speaker will explore the concept of Continuous
Authentication (CA), a security measure where a computer system
continuously verifies the identity of the user during a session. This
approach is contrasted with One-Time Authentication (OTA), which only
verifies identity at the session’s start. Although CA was first proposed
in 2000, it has gained significant attention recently due to the
widespread use of smartphones and IoT devices. The webinar will cover
the evolution and progress of CA over the past twenty years, addressing
the key challenges it faces and suggesting potential areas for future
research. CA is intended to enhance, not replace, OTA methods.
