dc.description.abstractWhen faced with the threat of observational attacks, mobile device users may attempt to mask the graphical interface to authenticate entry, to reduce the likelihood of third parties viewing and recreating the authentication sequence. However, interacting nonvisually with a mobile interface is not without its own challenges. In this paper, we describe a study examining the efficacy of authenticating entry using both PINs and graphical patterns when the mobile interface is outside of the line of sight of third parties and the user (i.e. in the user’s pocket, bag, or shielded by the non-dominant hand). A tactile aid intended to provide awareness of the orientation of the mobile device and to support authentication sequence entry is also being evaluated as part of the research.en_US
