Abstract

This paper addresses an authentication’s scheme based on behavioural biometric method which is users’ keystroke style. During an initial interaction with some system a proposed method identifies user’s typing pattern and eventually creates a search template that will be further used during the authentication. It is based on an encryption of random characters into a typed password by injecting a set of emulated keystrokes when the actual typing occurs. In a decoding phase, the algorithm searches for characters for which the user’s typing time is the most suitable within the assigned typing template. The article contains an overview of the developed method along with an analysis of its usability and an experimental evaluation based on assumed criteria of the false acceptance rate (FAR), the false rejection rate (FRR) and the equal error rate (EER). The obtained results have been compared with the existing method.
