Abstract

This paper studies ways to detect good users for biomet-ric recognition based on keystroke dynamics. Keystroke dynamics is an active research field for the biometric scientific community. Despite the great efforts made during the last decades, the performance of keystroke dynamics recognition systems is far from the performance achieved by traditional hard biometrics. This is very pronounced for some users, who generate many recognition errors even with the most sophisticate recognition algorithms. On the other hand, previous works have demonstrated that some other users behave particularly well even with the simplest recognition algorithms. Our purpose here is to study ways to distinguish such classes of users using only the genuine enrollment data. The experiments comprise a public database and two popular recognition algorithms. The results show the effectiveness of the Kullback-Leibler divergence as a quality measure to categorize users in comparison with other four statistical measures.
