Static Keystroke Dynamic Authentication (SKDA) Model to Authenticate User during Password Change

Abstract

Keystroke dynamics is considered as a supporting factor of authentication. Especially in the static keystroke dynamics, the user is identified by using the timing featured, which is captured while the user enters the login ID and password. To achieve this, the user profile needs to be created with timing features. However, in a scenario like a change of password where nearly no keystroke timing data is available, non-conventional features may be helpful. This article focuses on using non-conventional features such as NumLock key, Shift key, CapsLock key, etc for identifying users during a change of password. The paper also details how to capture the non-conventional features in static keystroke dynamics and build a model that can be used in the change of nassword.
