Nowadays, it becomes serious concern to provide more security to web services. So, secure user authentication is the fundamental task in security systems. Traditionally, most of the systems are based on pairs of username and password which verifies the identity of user only at login phase. Once the user is identified with username and password, no checks are performed further during working sessions. But emerging biometric solutions substitutes the username and password with biometric data of user. In such approach still single shot verification is less efficient because the identity of user is permanent during whole session. Hence, a basic solution is to use very short period of timeouts for each session and periodically request the user to input his credentials over and over. But this is not a proper solution because it heavily affects the service usability and ultimately the satisfaction of users. This paper explores the system for continuous authentication of user using his credentials such as biometric traits. The use of continuous biometric authentication system acquires credentials without explicitly notifying the user or requiring user interaction that is, transparently which is necessary to guarantee better performance and service usability.
