Keystroke Biometric
Completed by Andrey Konstantinov for Scalable Data Science course for University of Canterbury, Christchurch 2016/05
What is keystroke biometric?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keystroke_dynamics
Why?
- detect if an account is shared by multiple people (to enforce licensing)
- detect if an account is accidently used by a second person when a device is left unattended (to block it / reask for password)
- waive the second form authentication factor for less-risky opertions (when keystroke dynamic is strong)
- categorise PC user to experienced and not experienced

Scope of this notebook
- overview of the data source
- statistical evaluation of an algorithm (improved anomaly detection algorithm based on Manhattan distance from average)
- simulation of 'creditability score' to reduce error rate
- results review
