B J Gorad · IOSR Journal of Computer Engineering · 2013
Stealing Identity of the user is a crime in which hackers does the unauthorized activity under the stolen identity by using credentials such as passwords, usernames etc. User verification system provides security layer in addition to username and password by continuously validating the identity of the logged-on user based on their behavioral and physiological characteristics.We introduced a novel method that continuously verifies the user according to characteristics of their interaction with the mouse.The research contribution is in two parts.First, user signature is created according to the user's interaction with mouse while he is doing some predefined activity such as, drawing any alphabet or his signature on canvas application and it gets stored in a database and used for verification purpose.In the second part design hierarchy, to generate a user signature for the current session is discussed.The paper also discusses a decision making system to take decision about to continue the log in or log out from the system based on matching of his current signature and previously created signature.The system developed gives better verification accuracy by reducing the response time of the system.
