Factors affecting keystroke dynamics for verification data collecting and analysis

Nowadays, mobile devices are used to serve various functions; accessing the internet, accessing emails and storing information. Some of the stored and accessed data contain sensitive information such as passwords, bank credentials, and other important data. Consequently, authenticating users has become an important issue, especially with mobile systems. The development of the mobile systems has changed to touch screen system for user-friendly and quick access mechanism. This research studies the factors that affect the Keystroke Dynamics as authentication and verification technique. The study includes a questioner and data collection using HTML-Javascript-self-constructed webpage. The study involves 78 users in several situations. Five features, (Key Code, Up-Down latency, Down-Down latency, Key Hold and Overall latency) are analyzed while capturing samples from users and stored in a table format. Different machines, platforms and situations are used.
