Abstract

Our research aims to tackle the urgent concern of personal computer security, specifically concentrating on enhancing user authentication. Conventional authentication techniques, such as passwords and PINs, have demonstrated susceptibility to diverse cyber threats, encompassing brute-force attacks and phishing exploits. Additionally, the user experience with these methods often falls short, leading to frustration and potential security vulnerabilities arising from weak or reused passwords. To address these issues and propel the field of personal computer security forward, we advocate for a novel solution: User Authentication Based on Keystroke Dynamics. Keystroke dynamics involves the analysis of an individual’s distinct typing patterns, encompassing keypress duration and intervals, to authenticate users. This approach capitalizes on the uniqueness of each person’s typing rhythm, rendering it a robust and highly secure authentication method.
