*** Talk Summary ***
In this webinar, the speaker will explore the concept of Continuous 
Authentication (CA), a security measure where a computer system 
continuously verifies the identity of the user during a session. This 
approach is contrasted with One-Time Authentication (OTA), which only 
verifies identity at the session’s start. Although CA was first proposed 
in 2000, it has gained significant attention recently due to the 
widespread use of smartphones and IoT devices. The webinar will cover 
the evolution and progress of CA over the past twenty years, addressing 
the key challenges it faces and suggesting potential areas for future 
research. CA is intended to enhance, not replace, OTA methods.
