A Continuous Authentication System Based on User Behavior Analysis

This paper presents a continuous authentication system based on user behavior analysis that makes use of environmental context information, users' behavior analysis and Neuro-Fuzzy Logic. This system must be able to acquire information in context, making them into a computational environment. This information is the basis of user behavior. The System, based on the evidences of the behavior, establishes if it can trust the user or not. According to the user behavior, levels of trust are released, to access the application software. Weights are attributed in the fuzzyfication process, according to the rules that were previously established for the parameters which help to establish the evidences of behavioral trust, in its different degrees. The neuro-fuzzy logic allows that the user behavioral database be continuously updated, interacting with the fuzzyfication mechanism, so as to keep trust levels updated according to the user behavior, in a more accurate and faithful way.
