Although much research was conducted on devising intuitive interaction paradigms with pervasive computing devices, it has not been realized that authentication, an important need in this context, has a strong impact on the ease of use. More specifically, distance-bounding protocols are necessary in some of the most interesting scenarios in pervasive computing. This article describes a drag-and-drop interaction paradigm that enables strong authentication by embedding such a protocol within personal authentication tokens. This article also discusses how this paradigm can be used as the basis for performing user-friendly pervasive multi-party secure interactions.
