Online Social Networking Sites (SNSs) are considered as one of the well-established mediums of mass communication in today's world. Similar to physical world humans tend to have unique pattern of social communication in virtual world. However, analysis of such web based communication patterns is rarely seen for person identification. Most of the existing biometric recognition systems use either individual physiological or behavioural traits. A framework for the analysis of the web-based social interaction data as biometric features is largely unexplored until now. In this paper, a framework to accumulate and analyze social communication based data from online SNSs is presented. Analysis of such features explores personal characteristics, knowledge, and communication patterns that can successfully be utilized as Social Behavioral Biometric features. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed social behavioral biometric features are significantly useful for person authentication.
