Abstract

Many people now own smartphones and store all their documents such as pictures and financial statements on their phone. To protect this sensitive information, people generally use a passcode to prevent unauthorised access to their phone. Shoulder-surfing attacks are well known. However, contrary to common belief, they are not easy to carry out. Shoulder-surfing attacks to predict the passcode by humans are shown to not be accurate. The authors thus propose an automated algorithm to accurately predict the passcode entered by a victim on her smartphone by recording the video. Their proposed algorithm is able to predict over 92% of numbers entered in fewer than 75 s with training performed once.
