Behavioural biometrics using electricity load profiles
Modelling behavioural biometric patterns is a key issue for modern user centric applications, aimed at better monitoring users’ activities, understanding their habits and detecting their identity. Following this trend, this paper investigates whether the electrical energy consumption of a user can be a distinctive behavioural biometric trait. In particular we analyse daily and weekly load profiles showing that they are closely related to the identity of the users. Hence, we believe that this level of analysis can open interesting application scenarios in the field of energy management and it provides a good working framework for the continuous development of smart environments with demonstrable benefits on real-world implementations

Abstract

Modelling behavioural biometric patterns is a key issue for modern user centric applications, aimed at better monitoring users’ activities, understanding their habits and detecting their identity. Following this trend, this paper investigates whether the electrical energy consumption of a user can be a distinctive behavioural biometric trait. In particular we analyse daily and weekly load profiles showing that they are closely related to the identity of the users. Hence, we believe that this level of analysis can open interesting application scenarios in the field of energy management and it provides a good working framework for the continuous development of smart environments with demonstrable benefits on real-world implementations
