The development of a biometric keystroke authentication framework to enhance system security

Computer systems have proven to be essential to achieving our daily tasks such as managing our banking accounts, managing our health information and managing critical information systems such as drinking water systems or nuclear power plant systems. Such distributed systems are networked and must be protected against cyber threats. This research presents the design and implementation of a stand alone web based biometric keystroke authentication framework that creates a user's keystroke typing profile and use it as a second form of authentication. Several biometric models were then bench marked for their accuracy by computing their EER. By using keystroke biometrics as a second form of authentication the overall system's security is enhanced without the need of extra peripheral devices and without interrupting a user's work-flow.
