Keystroke dynamics
Frappe clavier
Two proposals :
- Time between strokes
- Sound
Keystroke dynamics, also called typing rhytms or typing recognition, analyses the way a person types. Users enroll by typing the same word or words a number of times. Verification is based on the concept that the rhythm with which a person types is distinctive.
La reconnaissance par la frappe clavier prend analyse la manière de frapper un texte au clavier. L'utilisateur s'enregistre en tapant les mêmes mots un certain de nombre de fois. La vérification se base sur le rhytme de frappe qui est particulier pour chaque personne.
Statistics of timings between two persons show the difference
Les statistiques des temps de frappe entre deux personnes montre les différences
(2013) Another way to do is to use keystoke sounds: see the homepage of Prof. Liu
