Keystroke Dynamics: Authenticating Users by Typing Pattern
Abhimanyu Abhimanyu, Tripti Rathee · Communications in computer and information science · 2016
With exponentially increasing users and crucial information accumulation over the internet, it has become a necessity to introduce a system which is powerful in terms of providing protection, and effective in cost required in authentication process. Biometrics is the only thing that cannot be stolen or copied as every human being has their own unique features that cannot be imitated by any intruder. The only disadvantage of biometrics authentication process, the need of additional devices is removed in the proposed system. This method can make the computer uniquely identify a user by typing behavior and defeat intruders. As accurate as any other biometric security technique, keystroke biometrics is cost effective because it does not require any additional hardware. In this paper a new system is introduced having keystrokes biometric added with password hardening techniques as an effective authentication method to defeat intrusion attempts.
