Biometric Authentication Techniques: A Study on Keystroke Dynamics
Biometrics technologies are gaining popularity today since they provide reliable and efficient means of authentication and verification. Our dependency on electronic devices is growing, and so is our need to secure information on them. Keystroke Dynamics is one of the famous biometric technologies, which identifies the authenticity of a user when the user is working via a keyboard. The authentication process is done by observing the variation in the typing pattern of the user. A comprehensive study of the existing keystroke dynamics methods, metrics, and different approaches are presented. This paper also discusses about the various security issues and challenges faced by keystroke dynamics.
