There has been an implicit assumption that the effort of authenticating, both in terms of elapsed time, user actions, cognitive load and impact on a user's primary task, will be amortized over a relatively long lifetime of the authenticated session with the system, application or service. As computing moves into new environments, including mobile and embedded systems, these assumptions may no longer be valid. The user’s primary task may be tending to a patient, driving a car, operating heavy machinery, or interacting with friends and colleagues via mobile apps. Due to the nature of user interaction in these new computing environments, and new threat models, methods of authenticating are needed that are both robust, easy to use, and minimize impact on the user's primary task. The time / cost of authentication needs to be commensurate with the level of engagement with these kinds of systems and applications.</font> <br><br><font size="2" face="sans-serif">The purpose of this workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners to share experiences, concerns, and ideas about known and new authentication techniques. We are interested in discussing methods of evaluating the impact and usability of various authentication techniques, and ideas about novel authentication techniques that are secure, robust and usable.</font> <br><br><font size="2" face="sans-serif"><b>Topics of interest for this workshop include:</b></font> <br><br><font size="2" face="Symbol">· </font><font size="2" face="sans-serif">Surveys and comparisons of known authentication techniques</font> <br><font size="2" face="Symbol">· </font><font size="2" face="sans-serif">Novel metrics or comparisons of metrics for authentication strength </font><br><font size="2" face="Symbol">· </font><font size="2" face="sans-serif">Empirical evaluations of authentication techniques, including performance, accuracy, and the impact of authentication on a user’s primary task</font> <br><font size="2" face="Symbol">· </font><font size="2" face="sans-serif">New authentication techniques that target emerging computing environments such as mobile and embedded systems</font> <br><font size="2" face="Symbol">· </font><font size="2" face="sans-serif">Approaches (including protocols) that enable weak authentication schemes to be more robust</font> <br><font size="2" face="Symbol">· </font><font size="2" face="sans-serif">Existing authentication techniques applied in new environments or usage contexts</font> <br><font size="2" face="Symbol">· </font><font size="2" face="sans-serif">Novel approaches to the design and evaluation of authentication systems</font> <br><br><font size="2" face="sans-serif">The goal of this workshop is to explore these and related topics across the broad range of contexts, including enterprise systems, personal systems, and especially mobile and embedded systems (such as automotive and wearable systems). This workshop provides an informal and interdisciplinary setting at the intersection of security, psychological, and behavioral science. Panel discussions may be organized around topics of interest where the workshop participants will be given an opportunity to give presentations, which may include current or prior work in this area, as well as pose new challenges in authentication.</font> <br><br><font size="2" face="sans-serif">We are soliciting 1-2 page position statements that express the nature of your interest in the workshop; these should include the aspects of authentication of interest to you, including the topic(s) that you would like to discuss during the workshop and panel discussions. Position statements must be in PDF format, preferably using the SOUPS formatting template (LaTeX or MS Word). Submissions should not be blinded. </font><br><br><font size="2" face="sans-serif"><b>Submissions should be made via EasyChair WAY 2014 web site:</b> </font><a href="https://www.easychair.org/account/signin.cgi?key=8485659.ZnOnnFc1ZOOSBEj8"><font size="2" face="sans-serif">https://www.easychair.org/account/signin.cgi?key=8485659.ZnOnnFc1ZOOSBEj8</font></a> <br><br><br><font size="2" face="sans-serif"><b>Workshop co-chairs: </b></font><br><br><font size="2" face="sans-serif">Larry Koved Elizabeth Stobert</font> <br><font size="2" face="sans-serif">IBM T.
