Keystroke Pattern Authentication of Computer Systems Users as One of the Steps of Multifactor Authentication

Abstract

In this paper, an authentication program was created for Ukrainian-speaking users of computer systems based on their keyboard style. To develop the algorithm of this program, a series of experiments were conducted. Based on the results of the experiments, the optimal handwriting characteristics were selected, which were subsequently analyzed for the implementation of recognition, also the requirements for educational samples and the stages of their selection and preliminary processing are determined. Besides considered the most critical parameters, setting which significantly increases the likelihood of correct recognition. This system is proposed to use as one of the stages of multifactor authentication.
