Abstract

The chapter introduces 'GoodVibes' authentication, a method where phones authenticate to users through wristwatch vibrations. This approach addresses the gap in traditional user-to-device authentication methods, which can be vulnerable to hardware phishing attacks. The study evaluates the effectiveness of GoodVibes through a prototype app and user testing, demonstrating high recognition rates and positive user perceptions. The findings suggest that GoodVibes can significantly improve security by helping users identify when they are interacting with their own devices, even in the presence of distractions. This innovative method offers a promising solution for enhancing mobile device security and user trust.
