Seeing-Is-Believing: Using Camera Phones for Human-Verifiable Authentication

Today it is difficult to conveniently provide strong authentication between devices that share no prior context, without the assistance of a trusted authority. We present, analyze, and propose applications for Seeing-Is-Believing, a system that utilizes machine vision on camera-phones to achieve security properties formerly unattainable in a non-intrusive way.
