Biometric Identification Based on Keystroke Dynamics

Sensors (Basel). 2022 Apr 20;22(9):3158. doi: 10.3390/s22093158.

Abstract

The purpose of the paper is to study how changes in neural network architecture and its hyperparameters affect the results of biometric identification based on keystroke dynamics. The publicly available dataset of keystrokes was used, and the models with different parameters were trained using this data. Various neural network layers-convolutional, recurrent, and dense-in different configurations were employed together with pooling and dropout layers. The results were compared with the state-of-the-art model using the same dataset. The results varied, with the best-achieved accuracy equal to 82% for the identification (1 of 20) task.

Keywords: biometric identification; keystroke dynamics; neural network.
