Intrusion detector based on mouse dynamics analysis

Abstract

A biometric intrusion detection system based on mouse dynamics analysis, the analysis of mouse dynamics for a specific user generates a number of factors (Mouse Dynamics Signature) which can be used to ensure the identity of the user, an intelligent detection technique is developed to recognize differences in behaviors and detect intrusion.

1 . By monitoring and analyzing mouse dynamics for a specific user over a period of time it is possible to produce what is called a ‘Mouse Dynamics Signature’, Mouse Dynamics Signature is a set of curves describing the monitored behavior and characterizing the mouse dynamics of the user over that period of time.  
     
     
         2 . By continuously monitoring mouse dynamics on an active workstation, and comparing the calculated mouse dynamics signature over a period of time to the stored mouse signature of the user who is logged in to the workstation it is possible to detect intrusion.
