  The large volume of publications in any research area can make it difficult
for researchers to track their research areas' trends, challenges, and
characteristics. Bibliometrics solves this problem by bringing statistical
tools to help the analysis of selected publications from an online database.
Although there are different works in security, our study aims to fill the
bibliometric gap in the authentication and threat model area. As a result, a
description of the dataset obtained, an overview of some selected variables,
and an analysis of the ten most cited articles in this selected dataset is
presented, which brings together publications from the last 28 years in these
areas combined.
