Smartphone Impostor Detection with Behavioral Data Privacy and Minimalist Hardware Support

Explore a defense-in-depth mechanism for detecting smartphone impostors using simple Deep Learning algorithms in this tinyML Research Symposium 2021 presentation. Delve into a privacy-preserving approach that utilizes Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) to learn legitimate user behavior without exposing sensor data outside the device. Discover how Prediction Error Distribution (PED) enhances detection accuracy and learn about the proposed minimalist hardware module, SID (Smartphone Imposter Detector), designed for on-device, real-time impostor detection. Examine experimental results showcasing SID's performance, including its low hardware cost and energy consumption compared to other RNN accelerators.
