One of the important challenges in Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC) is related to the authentication of users. There is increasing demand for suitable authentication method for accessing to the shared information via the Internet through Cloud Service Provider (CSP). Personal identification number is the most common mechanism for authentication in mobile devices; however it is not secure way for authenticating users. This work presents a method of authentication which able to identify users based on Keystroke Dynamic Authentication (KDA). Furthermore, keystrokes duration is considered as an attribute for measuring keystrokes of mobile's users. This paper proposed strong method of authentication in the password authentication scheme by combining it with keystroke authentication, which is a type of behavioral biometric mechanism. Experimental results show, the proposed method can work 97.014% correctly, due to the keystroke duration of each user depends on their behavioral characteristic and it can be measured up to milliseconds. On the other hand, if unauthorized person knows the username and password of legal user can not gain access rights because of difference between their keystroke duration. Therefore, it is hard for an attacker to pretend as an owner, and this method enhances the security of authentication in MCC

“…Additionally, to improve its security, biometrics authentication can rely on multiple biometrics traits thus, being multi-modal. Finally, biometric data can be acquired transparently i.e., without explicitly notifying the user or requiring his/her interaction, aiming to improve service usability [5].…”

Abstract. Human operators in control rooms are often responsible of issuing critical commands, and in charge of managing sensitive data. Insiders must be prevented to operate on the system: they may benefit of their position in the control room to fool colleagues, and gain access to machines or accounts. This paper proposes an authentication system for deterring and detecting malicious access to the workstations of control rooms. Specifically tailored for the operators in the control room of the crisis management system Secure!, the solution aims to guarantee authentication and non-repudiation of operators, reducing the risk that unauthorized personnel (including intruders) misuses a workstation. A continuous multi-biometric authentication mechanism is developed and applied in which biometric data is acquired transparently from the operator and verified continuously through time. This paper presents the authentication system design and prototype, its execution and experimental results.

“…But the overarching drawback is that none of these modalities is continuously active. Multimodal systems are presently being designed to handle the bursty nature of mono-modal sensors and allow for an easily extensible system to fuse the input of such sensors [10,11,12]. However, replication and systemization of work in the field is hampered by the incredible diversity of modalities, features, classifiers, architectures, and test sets employed.…”

“…The most similar multi-modal framework to the work proposed here is the Transparent Authentication Framework (TAF) in Java, which was proposed explicitly as an extensible framework for mobile devices [31]. The TAF uses multiple mono-modal biometric modules to render classification decisions on events and fuses their decisions with a history of explicit (entering a password) attempts.…”

Toward the Systematization of Active Authentication Research Daniel Fleming GerrityAuthentication is the vital link between your real self and your digital self. As our digital selves become ever more powerful, the price of failing authentication grows. The most common authentication protocols are static data and employed only once at login. This allows for authentication to be spoofed just once to gain access to an entire user session. Behaviometric protocols continuously consume a user's behavior as a token of authentication and can be applied throughout a session, thereby eliminating a fixed token to spoof. Research into these protocols as viable forms of authentication is relatively recent and is being conducted on a variety of data sources, features and classification schemes. This work proposes an extensible research framework to aid the systemization and preservation of research in this field by standardizing the interface for raw data collection, processing and interpretation. Specifically, this framework contributes transparent management of data collection and persistence, the presentation of past research in a highly configurable and extensible form, and the standardization of data forms to enhance innovative reuse and comparative analysis of prior research. v ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
