What is Chill-Pass: Using Neuro-Physiological Responses to Chill Music to Defeat Coercion Attacks about?

Current alphanumeric and biometric authentication systems cannot withstand situations where a user is coerced into releasing their authentication materials under hostile circumstances. Existing approaches of coercion resistant authentication systems (CRAS) propose authentication factors such as implicit learning tasks, which are non-transferable, but still have the drawback that an attacker can force the victim (causing stress) to perform the task in order to gain unauthorized access. Alternatively, there could be cases where the user could claim that they were coerced into giving up the authentication materials, whereas in reality they acted as an insider attacker. Therefore, being able to detect stress during authentication also helps to achieve non-repudiation in such cases. To address these concerns, we need CRAS that have both the non-transferable property as well as a mechanism to detect stress related to coercion. In this paper, we study the feasibility of using Chill (intensely pleasurable) music as a stimulus to elicit unique neuro-physiological responses that can be used as an authenticating factor for CRAS. Chill music and stress are both stimuli for a neuro-chemical cal
