In plain words: Instead of cookies, which stop working when someone switches accounts, this system identifies phone users by how they type, using a learning network that reads typing patterns from several angles. It picked the right user over 93% of the time in under a millisecond.
Abstract · Sequential Keystroke Behavioral Biometrics for Mobile User Identification via Multi-view Deep Learning
With the rapid growth in smartphone usage, more organizations begin to focus on providing better services for mobile users. User identification can help these organizations to identify their customers and then cater services that have been customized for them. Currently, the use of cookies is the most common form to identify users. However, cookies are not easily transportable (e.g., when a user uses a different login account, cookies do not follow the user). This limitation motivates the need to use behavior biometric for user identification. In this paper, we propose DEEPSERVICE, a new technique that can identify mobile users based on user's keystroke information captured by a special keyboard or web browser. Our evaluation results indicate that DEEPSERVICE is highly accurate in identifying mobile users (over 93% accuracy). The technique is also efficient and only takes less than 1 ms to perform identification.
