Keystroke Dynamic Authentication Using Graphical Password

User authentication is one of the important issues for illegal access, especially to computer systems. Alphanumeric passwords can easily be hijacked later by some malicious user. A possible remedy against such a scenario is to use Keystroke Dynamics. Keystroke Dynamics is biometric used to measure the typing rhythm of the user for user authentication. Normally key logger proposed to record every keystroke made on the machine and offers the attacker the ability to steal large amounts of sensitive information without the permission of the owner of the message. The main objective of this project is to provide 3 level securities for the operation in banking applications. initially, we are authenticating login id and password. Following user authentication, he will be shown with a graphical password screen which provides the additional security.
