User authentication via galvanic skin response

摘要

A method of authenticating a user via a galvanic skin response on electric computing device is described. The method includes receiving a request for user authentication from a second electronic computing device. The electronic computing device measures a change in the galvanic skin response associated with the user, and the change in the galvanic skin response is indicative of the user creating a physical connection between the electronic computing device and the second electronic computing device. The electronic computing device compares the galvanic skin response to a threshold skin conductance level. When the comparison of the galvanic skin response indicates, an authentication confirmation is sent to the second electronic computing device.
