Enhancing the security of online banking systems via keystroke dynamics

Abstract

Security is one of the key components of a computer system. The critical aspects become higher when it comes to online solutions that have millions of secure transactions occurring. Once the user credentials are passed to unintended user, the security of that particular entity is vulnerable harmful events could occur in different magnitudes. What is required is a reliable, efficient and hardware independent solution to authenticate online systems from intruders and hackers. In our research we have provided evidence that a complete platform independent online solution based on a methodology called Keystroke Dynamics which extract detailing timing information of user, and create a bio-matric template for each can be used to handle these treats. Comparing with other existing method this is more productive and efficient manner to authenticate online systems.
