Password authentication is a weak point for security as passwords are easily stolen and a user may ignore the security by using a simple password. Therefore, services increasingly demand a second factor. While this may enhance security, it comes with a lower level of usability and another factor to be forgotten. A smartphone is an important device in daily life. With the growing number of sensors and features in a smartphone, keystroke dynamics may provide an easy-to-use method. In this paper, we introduce requirements for biometric authentication and keystroke dynamics. This results in an evaluation scheme, which is applied to three selected approaches. Based on the comparison, keystroke dynamics and the evaluation scheme are discussed. The obtained results indicate that keystroke dynamics can be used as another authentication method but can be bypassed by stronger adversaries. For further research, a common data set would improve the comparability.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
