Part 9: Biometrics, Identification, SecurityInternational audienceIn this work it is shown how the behavioral biometrics allows to strengthen security of a personal computer during casual use. The user does not have to be even aware of verification system running in the background. Unfortunately, short passwords do not supply enough data for keystroke dynamics algorithms to be precise enough to keep the way and level the biometrics system requires. Behavioral biometrics cannot grant such authentication level as the other physiological biometric methods, e.g. fingerprint or retina scan. However, their transparency in analyzing data allows to merge methods into multimodal systems with a minimal cost. The benefit of keystroke dynamics is that it can be easily connected with some other biometric methods, especially with other human input interface devices. In this paper an approach to analyze keystroke dynamics along with mouse movement is presented. Even though both of the features are of behavioral character and hence with low repeatability, the results are good and promising for further research and modification
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.
