Webbiometrics: User Verification Via Web Interaction

We introduce a biometric trait based on the user behavior extracted from his interaction with a Web page. We propose the integration of this soft biometric trait in a conventional login Internet page to enhance the security of the system. We call this security layer WebBiometrics. This layer monitors the user mouse movements while he clicks his PIN code numbers. The proposed biometric method provides a non-intrusive soft behavioral biometric add-on to enhance on-line security. We describe the functionality of the system, the set of algorithms developed for the verification framework and preliminary experimental results. We also present quantitative measures of security enhancement offered by the introduction of this soft biometric compared to a PIN only based Web access.
