Biometric Authentication Tool For User Identification
Mario Garcia · 2020
Biometric access methods for computer systems are gaining popularity because of governmental and corporate businesses' increased focus to secure sensitive data on computer systems and networks.Biometrics is the science of measuring a unique physical characteristic about an individual as an identification mechanism.Keystroke Biometrics is a relatively new method of biometric identification and provides a comparatively inexpensive and unobtrusive method of hardening the normal login and password process.This Project aims at investigating the validity of using typing dynamics to strengthen security in a computer system.A Keystroke Dynamics Analysis tool is developed that uses statistical analysis of a user's typing patterns to perform identity verification. Keystroke BiometricsKeystroke Recognition is completely a software-based solution.It involves two processes:1. Enrollment Process: This process will enroll the user and generate a template for him/her.To start with, the individual must type in a specific word or a phrase or a set of alphanumeric characters.This is usually a username and password.2. Verification Process: This process will verify an enrolled individual to confirm the identification of the person.It will match the current template with an existing one for authentication purposes 7 This research aims at using the inexpensive and unobtrusive method of keystroke biometrics to build a user authentication system.The motivation to use this technology for this work comes Page 11.277.2
