KEYSTROKE DYNAMICS

abstract
The emergence of global network access has promoted increased chances of malicious attack and intrusion. Password authentication has been known as the most commonly safeguard measure against these intrusions. Common it is, but the security measures that it provides have always been questionable. Thus, it gives rise to the need for a more secured and reliable authentication method in accessing computer systems. This paper contains the design and development of a real time enhanced password security system through Keystroke Dynamics. Keystroke Dynamics deals with the analysis of unique habitual typing rhythms of individuals.
Keystroke Dynamics identification methods are proved to be very efficient, more natural
and easy for users than traditional methods of human identification, requires no change in user
behavior and is immediately deployable across the organization and the Internet without the need
for expensive tokens, cards or other specialized hardware. This paper depicts the use of time
latency between keystrokes to create typing patterns for individuals. Time latencies are extracted
and classified accordingly, that will then be used to recognize authentic users and reject
imposter. The performances of various metric methods are studied.
