As the dependence on computers and computer networks has been increasing, the need for authentication has increased. Many technologies exist for authentication such as using passwords, smart cards, and biometric. Biometric authentication methods rely on common biological characteristics such as fingerprints, hand geometry, earlobe geometry, retina and iris patterns, voice waves, Keystroke Dynamics (KD), DNA and signatures. KD is one of behavioral biometrics, and it depends on two main factors: the pattern of rhythm and speed of typing. It can be easily applied to into the existing computer without requiring any special sensor or hardware, it just needs a keyboard. In this survey, we are going to observe a collection of KD algorithms to try to find a best outcome based on special measurements for these algorithms.
