Eye-Shield: Real-Time Protection of Mobile Device Screen Information from Shoulder Surfing

32nd USENIX Security Symposium (2023)

Brian Tang, Kang G. Shin

A novel defense system against shoulder surfing attacks on mobile devices. We designed Eye-Shield, a real-time system that makes on-screen content readable at close distances but blurred or pixelated at wider angles to prevent unauthorized viewing. I created and evaluated the system, ensuring it met real-time constraints while maintaining usability and minimal power consumption. Our findings demonstrated that Eye-Shield significantly reduces shoulder surfers’ ability to read on-screen information.
