Abstract
We propose ISS-RegAuth, a lightweight indoor space authentication framework that authenticates a user by comparing LiDAR captures of personal rooms. Prior work processes every point in the cloud, where planar surfaces such as walls and floors dominate similarity calculations, causing latency and potential privacy exposure. In contrast, ISS-RegAuth retains only 1-2\% of Intrinsic Shape Signatures (ISS) keypoints, computes their Fast Point Feature Histograms, and performs RANSAC and ICP on this sparse set. On 100 ARKitScenes pairs, this approach reduces the equal-error rate from 0.02 to 0.00, cuts processing time by 20\%, and lowers transmitted data to 2.2\% of the original. These results show that keypoint-based sparse representation can make privacy-preserving, edge-deployable indoor space authentication practical. As an early step, this work opens a path toward device-independent…
