Abstract
In this paper, we present a novel keystroke dynamic recognition system by means of a novel two-layer fusion approach. First, we extract four types of keystroke latency as the feature from our dataset. The keystroke latency will be transformed into similarity scores via Gaussian Probability Density Function (GPD). We also propose a new technique, known as Direction Similarity Measure (DSM), which measures the absolute difference between two sets of latency. Last, four fusion approaches coupled with six fusion rules are applied to improve the final result by combining the scores that are produced by GPD and DSM. Best result with equal error rate of 1.401% is obtained with our two-layer fusion approach.
