The global market for Passive Authentication was estimated to be worth US$ 1672 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 5289 million by 2031 with a CAGR of 16.9% during the forecast period 2025-2031.
Passive authentication, as a new type of authentication method distinct from traditional active authentication (such as entering passwords or SMS verification codes), does not require users to perform any additional operations to complete the identity verification process. It continuously collects and analyzes various types of behavioral data, device attribute data, and environmental data generated during users' interactions with devices or systems, thereby inferring the authenticity and legitimacy of users' identities.
In terms of behavioral data, this includes users' keyboard typing habits (such as keystroke force, rhythm, and interval time), mouse movement trajectories (speed, pause points, and click frequency), preferred page browsing order, and habitual application operation processes. For example, some users tend to type quickly when entering passwords, with relatively consistent intervals between keystrokes; when browsing web pages, they always start by viewing specific sections of content. These behavioral characteristics are as unique as fingerprints, providing rich identification criteria for passive authentication.
Device attribute data involves the hardware information of the device used by the user, including device model, operating system version, screen resolution, and device unique identifier. Different devices vary in these attributes. By accurately identifying and matching device attributes, it is possible to assist in determining whether the user is a legitimate user. For example, company employees typically use office devices equipped with specific computer models and uniform operating system versions for work. If login behavior is detected from devices that do not meet company device standards, the system will raise an alert.
Environmental data includes the user's network environment (IP address, network type such as Wi-Fi or mobile data, network signal strength) and geolocation information (GPS positioning, base station positioning). For example, if a user typically logs into the system from locations within the company's vicinity and uses the company's internal Wi-Fi network, and on a particular day attempts to log in from a different location using an unfamiliar mobile data network, the system can trigger additional security verification mechanisms based on these abnormal changes in environmental data.
In today's digital age, information security has become a core concern for both businesses and individuals. While traditional password-based authentication methods are widely used, they are vulnerable to security threats such as brute-force attacks, password leaks, and phishing attacks, putting the data of businesses and users at significant risk. According to relevant data, over [X]% of data breaches are related to password security vulnerabilities. This dire situation has driven the market to urgently seek more efficient and secure authentication solutions, leading to the emergence of passive authentication technology.
From the perspective of industry application breadth, passive authentication has demonstrated unique value across numerous fields. In the banking, financial services, and insurance (BFSI) industry, where large-scale financial transactions and sensitive customer information are involved, stringent security authentication requirements are essential. Passive authentication can monitor user behavior and device environments in real-time during online transactions such as fund transfers and online banking logins, ensuring transaction security and effectively reducing fraud risks. For example, after implementing passive authentication technology, a major bank saw a [X]% reduction in transaction fraud rates.
In the e-commerce sector, as online shopping becomes more widespread, consumers increasingly prioritize both convenience and security during the shopping process. Passive authentication allows consumers to browse products and complete transactions without repeatedly entering passwords, enhancing the shopping experience while ensuring transaction security and preventing account theft that could lead to financial loss.
Membership management systems in the retail industry also leverage passive authentication to automatically identify and verify member identities. When members enter a store and use a mobile app, the system can confirm their identities through passive authentication, enabling personalized services such as pushing exclusive discount information.
In the information technology (IT) and telecommunications industries, passive authentication plays a crucial role in both internal network access control within enterprises and user identity verification by telecommunications operators, ensuring the security and stability of network communications.
