Abstract

This chapter proposes an authentication methodology that is both inexpensive and non-intrusive and authenticates users continuously while using a computer keyboard. This proposed methodology uses neural network committee machines. The committee consists of several independent neural networks trained to recognize a behavioral biometric characteristic: user’s typing pattern. Continuous authentication prevents potential attacks when users leave their desks without logging out or locking their computer session. Some experiments were conducted to evaluate and to calibrate the authentication committee. Best results show that a 0% FAR and a 0.15% FRR can be achieved when different thresholds are used in the system for each user. In this proposed methodology, capture system does not need to concern about typing errors in the text. Another feature of this methodology is that new users can be easily added to the system, with no need to re-train all neural networks involved.
