Abstract: A user authentication apparatus and method for allowing a user to conveniently perform user authentication by a touch and motion-based gesture in a terminal are provided. In the user authentication apparatus, a low-power sensor platform is configured to transfer a wake-up signal to a controller upon detecting a motion of the terminal for waking up while the terminal is in a sleep mode, and to transfer a motion signal generated while the terminal is in a wake-up mode to the controller. The controller is configured to switch the terminal to the wake-up mode in response to the wake-up signal that is received from the low-power sensor platform while the terminal is in the sleep mode, and to switch to a user-authenticated specific application mode upon receiving the motion signal from the low-power sensor platform during a touch occurring in a specific area while the terminal is in the wake-up mode.
