The article examines the possibility of improving the security of user workstations equipped with web cameras. This is achieved by implementation of continuous user authentication through face recognition. This method significantly increases a security level of the system from the threat of gaining access while the user is not at the workplace. In addition, various methods to protect the system from imitating the images of a genuine user were developed. Testing various approaches to solving the problem was performed and the reliability of the system was estimated.
The paper deals with a description of the developed prototype of application protection module based on an activity profile. It is based on proactive protection technology. A description of behaviors injected in controlled processes is given, and an architecture of the security module and interactions of end-users with the system are considered. The module is designed in C#.
