Keystroke and Mouse Dynamics: A Review on Behavioral Biometrics

Today the need of authentication is not at all limited to the passwords and Personal Identification number (PIN). There is a need of higher level of security for the authenticating the genuine user. This higher level of security can be achieved by using the behavioral biometrics i.e. by using mouse movement and keystroke dynamics etc. This paper attempts to restrict the unauthorized person from gaining access to account of genuine user even if he carries the login detail i.e. username and password of the genuine user. This paper tries to review mouse movement method and keystroke dynamics method and draw a common conclusion. Adding behavioral biometrics with existing system helps to enhance the security.
