A Two Factor Authentication System for Touchscreen Mobile Devices Using Static Keystroke Dynamics and Password

چکیده
The number of touchscreen mobile devices are rapidly increasing each day and so are the number of people that use them. Username-password combination is the most common method of authentication but has many vulnerabilities like shoulder surfing, social engineering, brute force attacks, key-loggers, etc. Keystroke Dynamics provides a novel approach to strengthen this existing method. Typing rhythm or keystroke of every user is distinct in the same way as signatures of users are distinct. Keystroke Dynamics is a biometric but unlike other biometrics it does not need any special hardware. In this paper, we have proposed a simple yet elegant method for touchscreen mobile devices which uses keystroke dynamics as first factor authentication and a secret password as second factor authentication to grant access to the mobile device.
