Authentication based on keystroke dynamics using stochastic diffusion algorithm

ABSTRACT Authentication plays an important role in dealing with security. Securing sensitive data and computer systems by allowing easy access for authenticated users and withstanding the attacks of imposters is one of the major challenges in the field of computer security. Nowadays, passwords have become the trend to control access to computer systems. Biometrics are used to measure and analyze an individual's unique behavioral or physiological patterns for authentication purposes. Keystroke dynamics have emerged as an important method in analyzing the typing rhythm in biometric techniques, as they provide an ease of use and increased trustworthiness associated with biometrics for creating username and password schemes. In this experiment, we measure the Hausdorff timing values, mean, standard deviation, and median of keystroke features, such as latency, duration, digraph, and their combinations, and compare their performance. The stochastic diffusion search is used for feature subset selection.
