Behavioral, Cognitive and Virtual Biometrics
This paper presents an overview and classification of security approaches based on computer analysis of human behavior. Overview of different methodologies is followed by an analysis of achieved accuracy rates, required equipment and prospects for future improvements. In particular the following broad categories of behavior-based authentication mechanisms are examined: Behavioral Biometrics (Authorship based, Human–Computer Interaction based, Motor Skill, and Purely Behavioral), Behavioral Passwords (syntactic, semantic, one-time methods and visual memory based), Biosignals (cognitive and semi-controllable biometrics) and Virtual Biometrics (representations of users in virtual worlds).
