What Is Keystroke Dynamics?
Keystroke dynamics dates back to the late 1800s when telegraph operators were able to identify the person on the other end of the line simply by his/her tapping rhythm. By the early 1980s, the U.S. National Bureau of Standards concluded that by typing userID and password, keystroke dynamics provided up to 98 percent accuracy.
How Does It Work?
Keystroke dynamics measures the series of key down and key up event timings while the user types a string looking at "dwell time" (the time between the key down and key up) and "flight time" (the time from key down to the next key down to the time between one key up and the next key up). BioPassword has developed a proprietary technology that uses these measurements to calculate the string template unique to the individual's keystrokes.
Keystroke Dynamics In Use Today
BioPassword has matured the keystroke dynamics technology to deliver the leading secure authentication and anti-fraud solutions with a simple, yet powerful combination of the user's standard login credentials (userID and password). As the leading biometric over the Internet, BioPassword Internet Edition is protecting hundreds of thousands of consumers online, while BioPassword Enterprise Edition validates the identities of employees, partners and customers within enterprise networks across the country. In combination with keystroke dynamics, even if a password is stolen, it cannot be used to breach identity because the typing rhythm associated with it can never be shared, lost or forgotten.
