Unlike other access control systems based on biometric features, keystroke analysis has not led to techniques providing an acceptable level of accuracy. The reason is probably the intrinsic variability of typing dynamics, versus other---very stable---biometric characteristics, such as face or fingerprint patterns. In this paper we present an original measure for keystroke dynamics that limits the instability of this biometric feature. We have tested our approach on 154 individuals, achieving a…

Biometric Authentication and Identification using Keystroke Dynamics: A Survey
TLDR
The use and acceptance of this biometric could be increased by development of standardized databases, assignment of nomenclature for features, development of common data interchange formats, establishment of protocols for evaluating methods, and resolution of privacy issues.
Keystroke Dynamics Biometrics, A tool for User Authentication–Review
TLDR
A perceptive survey with comparison on keystroke dynamics biometrics study performed till now is the objective of this paper and considers here the best results reported in the Structured Text as well as free text scenario in terms of False Rejection Rate (FRR) &False Acceptance Rate (FAR).
Investigation about Authentication Biometrics using Keystroke Dynamics
—This paper uses a Keystroke Dynamics in biometric authentication. The user is identified for the habitual rhythm to type your complete name in a conventional keyboard. Two features (e.g., durations…

  • 2019
TLDR
An approach to solving one of the main security problems of modern information systems, related to unauthorized access to its resources, by combining the frequently used dynamic elements of typing with the sound spectrogram associated with the process of typing.
Soft Biometrics for Keystroke Dynamics
TLDR
A new soft biometric approach for keystroke dynamics that combines the ability to recognise the hand(s) used; the gender; the age category; and the handedness of a user when he/she types a given password or passphrase on a keyboard is presented.
Biometric Authentication and Identification using Keystroke Dynamics with Alert Levels
TLDR
It is concluded that by enabling a biometric keystroke dynamic authentication system, 97.75% of all false login attempts, with stolen but valid credentials, can be prevented, although with a potential downside of increasing the number of falsely rejected logins by 4.17%.
Developing a Keystroke Biometric System for Continual Authentication of Computer Users
TLDR
Using keystroke data from 120 users, system performance was obtained as a function of two independent variables: the user population size and the number of keystrokes per sample and it was found that for each population size, the performance increased roughly logarithmically as the numberof keystroke per sample was increased.
Using the Keystrokes Dynamic for Systems of Personal Security
TLDR
The results show that the use of the Keystroke Dynamics is simple and efficient for personal authentication, getting optimum resulted using 90% of the features with 4.44% FRR and 0% FAR.

Optimizing digraph-latency based biometric typist verification systems: inter and intra typist differences in digraph latency distributions
TLDR
It was found that typist verification accuracy improved when a digraph-specific index of the distance between test and reference digraph latencies was employed and the utility of nonlinear modelling as a tool to establish optimum verification parameter settings was shown.
