| Summary: | In a society centered on hyper-connectivity, information sharing is crucial, but it must be ensured that each piece of information is viewed only by legitimate users; for this purpose, the medium that connects information and users must be able to identify illegal users. In this paper, we propose a smartphone authentication system based on human gait, breaking away from the traditional authentication method of using the smartphone as the medium. After learning human gait features with a convolutional neural network deep learning model, it is mounted on a smartphone to determine whether the user is a legitimate user by walking for 1.8 s while carrying the smartphone. The accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score were measured as evaluation indicators of the proposed model. These measures all achieved an average of at least 90%. The analysis results show that the proposed system has high reliability. Therefore, this study demonstrates the possibility of using human gait as a new user authentication method. In addition, compared to our previous studies, the gait data collection time for user authentication of the proposed model was reduced from 7 to 1.8 s. This reduction signifies an approximately four-fold performance enhancement through the implementation of filtering techniques and confirms that gait data collected over a short period of time can be used for user authentication.
