Authentication and Identification Methods Used in Keystroke Biometric Systems

摘要

Keystroke dynamics authentication is not as widely used compared to other biometric systems. In recent years, keystroke dynamic authentication systems have gained interest because of low cost and integration with existing security systems. Many different methods have been proposed for data collection, feature representation, classification, and performance evaluation. The work presents a detailed survey of the most recent research in keystroke dynamic authentication. Research is evaluated by the conditions under which data was collected, classification algorithms used, and system performance. This work also identifies some shortcomings of the current research issues that need to be addressed for keystroke dynamics to mature. Some recommendations for future research are made, with the goal of improving keystroke dynamics system performance and robustness.
