User authentication is an essential factor to protect digital service and prevent malicious users from gaining access to the system. As Single Factor Authentication (SFA) is less secure, organizations started to utilize Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) to provide reliable protection by using two or more identification measures. Keystroke dynamics is a behavioral biometric, which analyses users typing rhythm to identify the legitimacy of the subject accessing the system. Keystroke dynamics that have a low implementation cost and does not require additional hardware in the authentication process since the collection of typing data is relatively simple as it does not require extra effort from the user. This study aims to propose deep learning model using Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) in keystroke dynamics for user authentication on CMU benchmark dataset. The user typing rhythm from 51 subjects collected based on the static password (.tie5Roanl) typed 400 times over 8 sessions and 50 repetitions per session. The MLP achieved optimum EER of 4.45% compared to original benchmark classifiers such as 9.6% (scaled Manhattan), 9.96% (Mahalanobis Nearest Neighbor), 10.22% (Outlier Count), 10.25% and 16.14% (Neural Network Auto-Assoc).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
