Abstract

This paper proposes a portable hardware token for user authentication, it is based on the use of keystroke dynamics to verify users in a bio-metric manner. The proposed approach allows for a multifactor authentication scheme in which users are not allowed access unless they provide the correct password and their unique bio-metric signature. The proposed system is implemented in hardware and its security is evaluated.
