System And Method For Implicit Authentication

A system for implicit authentication for a mobile device associated with a user, wherein the implicit authentication is behavioral, biometric and task-based and includes at least one authentication task selected so as to leverage the user's muscle memory. The mobile device comprises a touchscreen; a transaction authentication information unit; one or more sensors coupled to the transaction authentication information unit; and an anomaly detector coupled to the transaction authentication information unit. The sensors comprise one or more touchscreen sensors coupled to the touchscreen, an accelerometer, and a gyroscope, and are used to obtain and transmit one or more sets of data to the transaction authentication information unit. The sets of data are associated with one or more performances of the authentication task by the user. The anomaly detector generates an authentication model using the one or more data sets transmitted to the transaction authentication information unit.
