User Authentication via Mouse Biometrics and the usage of Graphic User Interfaces: An Application Approach.
J. Octavio Gutiérrez-García, Félix Ramos, Herwig Unger · Security and Management · 2007
In this paper we propose the construction of the user behaviour based on a relatively new mouse-based behavioural biometric and the usage of graphic user interfaces (GUIs) utilizing the application approach, pretending to use this behaviour to transparently reauthenticate the users with a free interaction in the computer system using an anomaly detection approach, avoiding the user masquerading that could derive other kind of attacks. We also present several improvements to related works such as the reduction of the number of features to construct the user behaviour and the reduction of the required data in the enrolment phase of the users, resulting in a lower computational cost; in addition we implemented a feedback loop which captures the variations of the user behaviour through the time, and thus extends the validity of the user behaviour.
