Victoria, BC, Canada
To be published by IGI Global:

Introduction
Continuous Authentication (CA) is an emerging technology which consists of
positively verifying the identity of a user in a repeated manner throughout
a login session. CA departs from the traditional (static) authentication
schemes by repeating several times the authentication process dynamically
throughout the entire login session; the main objectives being to detect
masqueraders, ensure session security, and combat insider threat. Although
CA can be effective in detecting session hijacking, it requires special data
sources to detect masqueraders. Such data sources should allow the computing
system to discriminate reliably legal users from imposters. Biometrics
technologies are the most suitable for this purpose. This book will present
state of the art research on CA data sources, sensors, models and metrics,
and discuss directions for further investigations.
Objective of the Book
The objectives and mission of the book is to raise awareness of the
foundations and benefits of the continuous authentication field, and to
serve as a reference for researchers and security professionals involved or
interested in this field. Continuous authentication is a relatively new
topic which is not well known because of its relative youth and the limited
number of related publications. The goal of the book is to present and
discuss the fundamental concepts and issues underlying this emerging field,
and present state of the art research on the tools, models, and metrics
relevant to continuous authentication systems.
Target Audience
The book is primarily intended for researchers, developers and managers who
are interested or are currently working in the emerging field of continuous
authentication. The book is also of relevance to students of computer
science and engineering, in particular, graduate students at the Masters or
PhD levels.
The book will discuss different data sources and examples of models for
designing and implementing continuous authentication mechanisms and systems.
Furthermore, the book will present new performance metrics and models, and
guidelines that could be put effectively to use when designing and
evaluating a continuous authentication application.

Submission Procedure
Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit on or before June 10,
2010, a 2-3 pages chapter proposal in printable PDF format clearly
explaining the mission and concerns of the proposed chapter.
Authors of accepted proposals will be notified by June 25, 2010 about the
status of their proposal and sent chapter organizational guidelines.
Full chapters (8000-10000 words) are expected to be submitted by September
25, 2010.
All submissions must describe original work, not published or currently
under review.
All submissions must be in printable PDF format and written in English.
All submitted chapters will be reviewed on a double-blind peer review basis.
Contributors may also be requested to serve as reviewers for this project.
Please note that the final chapters are to be provided in MS Word format,
according to the IGI Global standards.
Inquiries and submissions can be forwarded by e-mail to any of the book
editors at itraore@ece.uvic.ca or aahmed@ece.uvic.ca
