Behavior characteristics of mobile web applications authenticated users

The Internet facilitates nowadays interaction and collaboration between persons located at very long distances from each other. It also facilitates interactions between software systems located at great distances. The key concept is the identification of the subject involved in the interaction. It is necessary to validate whether the person performing certain activities on a software system is the person entitled and not an unauthorized one. In this paper we propose a study of the actual context in user authentication domain, in various online applications. Therefore, the purpose of this document is to provide stakeholders (software developers) the characteristics on users conduct within online mobile applications. Based on these features, specific profiles can be created for each user. By using the completed profiles, we can achieve recognition models based on user behavior.
