The way users interact with computer input devices is a trending subject of research in the field of security as it is another source of biometric data for authentication. This article focuses on computer mouse as a common tool for browsing the web and its characteristics of use. The article provides a comprehensive study of related research papers and compares approaches to the preprocessing stage of biometric authentication which is a potential target for improvement. The article further proposes a framework to assess the quality of features with respect to the theory of biometrics. Using this framework, a comprehensive set of features across the works is compared on datasets acquired from two controlled experiments simulating both static and continuous authentication. The article shows that selection of features based on the proposed assessment has a positive impact on user authentication results.
