At the invitation of the School of Management and Economics, Professor Zhang Dongsong of the Department of Business Information Systems and Operations Management at the University of North Carolina, Charlotte, made an academic report entitled "shoulder-finding resident mobile user authentication: a comparison of touch style - and keystroke-based password methods" online at 10 a.m. on October 26, 2022. The seminar was presided over by Associate Professor Jia Lin, and attended by many teachers and students of the college."Shoulder-surfing attack" refers to the act of peeking at the victim through direct observation or video without the victim's knowledge in order to obtain his or her identity or personal information. Professor Zhang first introduced the background of mobile device security and peeping behavior. On this basis, Professor Zhang summarized the strategies to prevent peeping from four aspects: visual reduction, behavior disassembly, knowledge dissemination and feature recognition, put forward the research questions of this paper, and established assumptions based on relevant research contents. In order to fully understand the degree of protection of two different cryptographic methods against peeping behavior, Professor Zhang's research considered four situational variables: the way of password mixing, human-computer interaction mode, observation angle and input error, and constructed relevant assumptions and indicators to measure effectiveness and efficiency. Finally, the research verifies the research hypothesis by designing 24 groups of longitudinal laboratory experiments and online experiments. Professor Zhang introduced the experimental results. The results show that the password method based on touch gesture is better than the password method based on keys in preventing users from peeping. The research results provide empirical evidence for the impact of interaction mode, observation angle and observation strength on the prevention of peeping behavior, and also provide suggestions on how to enhance the security of password-based authentication methods.After the report, the teachers and students at the meeting had a positive and full discussion with Professor Zhang. The report received a warm response and was unanimously praised by teachers and students.After the report, the teachers and students at the meeting had a positive and full discussion with Professor Zhang.
