Abstract:
The security and access protection on mobile devices have become an important topic due to the increasing amount of personal and sensitive data stored on these devices. The traditional security techniques based on PIN (Personal Identification Number)-input are insufficient and do not correspond to the present password standards. An authentication with usage of keystroke behavior could increase the security and a lot of research has been published based on traditional PC keypads. Keystroke behavior on touchscreen keypads, as they are nowadays installed on smartphones, enables adding additional features for the authentication. For example, pressure, size or exact coordinates of keystroke can be used. The focus of this paper is that several time differences (e.g. digraph) are examined and checked for suitability for a keystroke authentication. For that, data of 152 subjects were classified. With additional features of the touchscreen, an error rate of false rejected persons of only 4.59% and false accepted persons of only 4.19% could be reached.
