Abstract
The present invention provides a system and methods for computer user profiling based on behavioral biometrics. The approach consists of establishing distinctive profiles for computer users based on how they use a motion-based input device such as, but not limited to, a mouse and/or a keyboard. The profiles computed in the present invention are more accurate than those obtained through the traditional statistical profiling techniques, since they are based on distinctive biological characteristics of users.
Claims21
A behavioral biometrics-based user verification system for use with a motion-based input device, said system comprising a data interception unit for receiving inputs from a user, a behavior analysis unit operatively coupled to said data interception unit, and a behavior comparison unit operatively coupled to said behavior analysis unit, wherein said system translates behavioral biometrics information into representative data, stores and compares different results, and outputs a user identity result.
A method of characterizing a user comprising the steps of moving a motion-based input device, collecting data from said device, processing said data, and modeling said data using suitably selected algorithms to develop a signature for a user.
