Title:
Enhancing Web-Authentication
through Keystroke Biometrics
Abstract: Client authentication has been a critical
problem on the web. Currently web-sites use password-based authentication
scheme which considered a week authentication scheme according to today challenges.
Many studies show the need of new strong authentication scheme that uses
two-factor authentication model to prevent identity theft and online fraud.
Implementing a two-factor authentication system is usually expensive and
requires especial hardware connected to the client’s machine which is unfeasible
in web environment. In this paper we present a novel web- authentication
scheme with two-factor authentication model by combining the use of biometric
authentication approach and knowledge based authentication approach as two
authentication factors. The scheme we present in this paper is cost-effective,
software only, reliable, and a natural choice for web-authentication.To test
the accuracy and the performance of our scheme we built a prototype system
for experiment purpose, our experiment reported a promising results.
