Abstract
User authentication is a key technology in human machine
interaction. The need to establish the legitimacy of
transactions and possibly the actors behind them is
crucial for trustworthy operation of services over the
internet. A good authentication method offers security,
usability and privacy protections for the users and the
service providers. However, achieving all three
properties with a single method is a difficult task and
such methods are not in wide use today. We combine
methods from biometrics, secure key exchange algorithms
and privacy-protecting authentication to build an
authentication system that achieves these three
properties. Our system uses keystroke dynamics to
authenticate the user and cryptographic methods to
protect the privacy of the templates and samples and to
extend the authentication to key exchange. The results
show that the system can be used for user authentication,
but more work is needed to protect against impersonation
in some cases. Our work is extensible to many other
biometrics that can be measured and compared in a similar
manner as keystroke dynamics and with further research to
larger classes of authentication methods.
