Password verification is based on the keyboard “handwriting”

Passwords can be divided into reliable and unreliable, but neither one nor the other do not provide real security. Scientists at the American University of Beirut (Lebanon) are developing a more robust technology, which allows you to keep in mind that you are typing and as you are typing on the keyboard.

new software security system to authenticate the password reads and records the rhythm with which the password is typed. The system measures not only the length of pauses between keystrokes, but also the duration of the depression. At the moment the market is a small number of keyboards with built-in pressure gauge, but the new algorithm is compatible with standard keyboards.

The first registration in the user repeatedly enters their password. At this time, the program creates a profile that records the average duration and average pressing pause between them, as well as other factors, including the communication parameters between the two (digraphs), and three keys (trigraphs). Profile is saved and the system turns to him every time a user logs on.
