The deficiencies of traditional password-based access systems have become more acute as these systems have grown in size and scope. One category of improvement uses keystroke biometrics, an approach which seeks to identify an individual by their typing characteristics. Since 1998, a number of techniques have been proposed for accurately harnessing keystroke dynamics for system authentication and other novel uses. But these systems do not deliver on their promise to increase system security. Up till now the authentication system based on keystroke biometrics used only single verification technique like MLP, SVM, LVQ, SOM etc. We have attempted to use multiple verification techniques simultaneously in order to guarantee improved authentication. Our system uses Threshold technique in addition to MLP approach.
