Abstract: Authentication is one of the most important issues in portable devices. Most of the authentication methods include obtrusive user at tempts where secret information likes Personal Identification Number (PIN), password can be noticed or stolen by others. Consistent user authentication is most important to secure portable devices now-a-days; however most of the authentication methods include obtrusive user attempt i.e. PIN, password which can be noticeable by others. As a result, these devices are accessed for a long time after the successful verification which allows replacing the official user to the benefit of a fraud and this is the case with portable devices. This paper includes a method of continuous user verification by unobtrusive biometrics i.e. gait. Over a period of years, researchers have proposed various methods to protect portable devices, but the security of these devices may not be represented properly by using the conventional methods and other biometrics applications due to its obtrusiveness and inconveniency. Gait analysis and recognition plays vital role in security of portable devices through biometrics as it is an unobtrusive way to secure these devices.
