Tell Me Who You Are, and I Will Tell You Your Lock Pattern

Presented at BSidesLV 2015, Aug. 4, 2015, 5 p.m. (25 minutes)

You are predictable, your passwords are predictable, and so are your PINs. This simple fact is often exploited by hackers, as well as the agencies watching you. But what about your Android lock patterns? Can who you are reveal what patterns you create? This talk will present the results from a study of 3400 users and their selected lock patterns. Will being left-handed and having experience with security affect the way you create your lock patterns? Full Disk Encryption won't save you if your lock pattern is L - as in "loser".

Presenters:

• Marte Løge - Technology Analyst - Itera ASA
  Marte has recently obtained a Masters in Computer Science from the Norwegain University of Science and Technology (lol NUTS), and is currently employed as a full-time as a software developer for a Norwegian consulting firm. She likes passwords and colors, resulting in a special interest in graphical passwords. She is probably the only person that has survived after studying the Android Pattern Lock for a whole year.
