RE: Question regarding authentication work

Having an overview of the most important authentication mechanisms presently under discussion would indeed be useful in defining (and thus confining) our authentication investigation.

As an aside, the gesture recognition authentication technique described at the CHI 2017 conference -
See "Where Usability and Security Go Hand-in-Hand: Robust Gesture-Based Authentication for Mobile Systems" - raises accessibility concerns for people whose ability to trace a pattern reliably on a touch device is limited.
