🎯 What is Keystroke Dynamics?

Keystroke dynamics analyzes the unique patterns in how you type - the timing between keystrokes, how long you hold keys down, and the rhythm of your typing. Just like your fingerprint, your typing pattern is unique to you!

✨ Features

- 🚫 No Passwords Required - Type your username/email naturally to login
- 🛡️ Bank-Level Security - AES-256 encryption with customizable thresholds
- 🎯 High Accuracy - 95%+ authentication success rate after training
- 🔄 Smart Fallback - Automatic password backup after 3 failed attempts
- 📱 Cross-Platform - Works on desktop and mobile browsers
- 🏠 Privacy First - All data stays on your device, no servers required
- ⚡ Lightning Fast - Sub-second authentication
- 🎨 Easy Integration - Drop-in solution for any website

🚀 Quick Start

$3

``html









Login






`

$3

`javascript
// Create the authentication system
const auth = new KeystrokeDynamics();

// Set up your user (one-time setup)
await auth.initialize('your-master-password', 'user@example.com');

// Train the system (collect 5 samples)
for (let i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
auth.startRecording();
// User types their username
await auth.addSample();
}
`

$3

`javascript
// When user tries to login
document.getElementById('username').addEventListener('input', (e) => {
if (e.target.value.length === 1) {
auth.startRecording(); // Start capturing keystrokes
}
});

document.getElementById('loginBtn').addEventListener('click', async () => {
try {
const result = await auth.verify();

if (result.isAuthentic && result.similarity >= 0.7) {
console.log('✅ Login successful!');
// Redirect to dashboard
} else {
console.log('❌ Authentication failed');
// Show password field
}
} catch (error) {
console.error('Authentication error:', error);
}
});
`

📋 Complete Example

Here's a fully working login system:

`javascript
class SecureLogin {
constructor() {
this.auth = new KeystrokeDynamics();
this.attempts = 0;
this.maxAttempts = 3;
this.setupEventListeners();
}

async init(masterPassword, username) {
await this.auth.initialize(masterPassword, username);
this.auth.setThreshold(0.7); // 70% similarity required
}

setupEventListeners() {
const usernameInput = document.getElementById('username');
const loginBtn = document.getElementById('loginBtn');

usernameInput.addEventListener('input', (e) => {
if (e.target.value.length === 1 && !this.auth.isRecording) {
this.auth.startRecording();
this.showStatus('Recording your typing pattern...');
}
});

loginBtn.addEventListener('click', () => this.handleLogin());
}

async handleLogin() {
try {
const result = await this.auth.verify();

if (result.isAuthentic && result.similarity >= 0.7) {
this.loginSuccess();
} else {
this.attempts++;
if (this.attempts >= this.maxAttempts) {
this.showPasswordField();
} else {
this.showRetryMessage(result.similarity);
}
}
} catch (error) {
this.handleError(error);
}
}

loginSuccess() {
this.showStatus('✅ Login successful!', 'success');
// Redirect or update UI
window.location.href = '/dashboard';
}

showPasswordField() {
document.getElementById('passwordField').style.display = 'block';
this.showStatus('⚠️ Biometric authentication failed. Please enter password.', 'warning');
}

showRetryMessage(similarity) {
const attemptsLeft = this.maxAttempts - this.attempts;
const similarityPercent = Math.round(similarity * 100);
this.showStatus(
❌ Similarity: ${similarityPercent}% (need 70%). ${attemptsLeft} attempts left.,
'error'
);
document.getElementById('username').value = '';
}

showStatus(message, type = 'info') {
const statusDiv = document.getElementById('status');
statusDiv.textContent = message;
statusDiv.className = status ${type};
}

handleError(error) {
console.error('Authentication error:', error);
this.showStatus('🔥 Authentication system error', 'error');
}
}

// Initialize when page loads
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', async () => {
const login = new SecureLogin();

// Check if user exists, otherwise set up new user
if (!login.auth.isReady()) {
await login.init('secure-master-password', 'john@example.com');
// Show training interface
}
});
`

🎛️ Configuration Options

$3

`javascript
// Choose your security level
auth.setThreshold('low'); // 60% - Relaxed security
auth.setThreshold('medium'); // 70% - Balanced (recommended)
auth.setThreshold('high'); // 80% - Strict security
auth.setThreshold('max'); // 90% - Maximum security

// Or use custom threshold
auth.setThreshold(0.75); // 75% similarity required
`

$3

`javascript
// Minimum samples for training
const minSamples = 3; // Quick setup
const recommended = 5; // Balanced accuracy

🎨 UI/UX Best Practices

$3

Start with a regular login form and enhance it:

`javascript
// Check if biometrics are available
if (window.KeystrokeDynamics && auth.isReady()) {
enableBiometricLogin();
} else {
showTraditionalLogin();
}
`

$3

Provide clear user feedback:

`css
/ Recording state /
.input-recording {
border: 2px solid #007bff;
animation: pulse 1s infinite;
}

/ Success state /
.input-success {
border: 2px solid #28a745;
}

/ Error state /
.input-error {
border: 2px solid #dc3545;
}
`

$3

`javascript
// Provide helpful tips
const tips = [
"Type naturally at your normal pace",
"Use the same typing style as during training",
"Ensure you're typing in the correct field",
"Try to maintain consistent rhythm"
];

function showRandomTip() {
const tip = tips[Math.floor(Math.random() * tips.length)];
document.getElementById('helpText').textContent = tip;
}
`

break;
case 'VERIFY_FAILED':
console.log('Authentication failed');
break;
default:
console.log('Unknown error:', error.message);
}
}
`

`

🎯 Use Cases

$3


`javascript
// Quick checkout without passwords
if (await biometricAuth.verify()) {
processPayment();
} else {
requirePasswordAndOTP();
}
`

$3

`javascript
// High-security transactions
auth.setThreshold('max'); // 90% similarity
const result = await auth.verify();
if (result.similarity > 0.9) {
allowTransaction();
}
`

$3

`javascript
// Employee access control
const employee = await auth.authenticate(employeeId);
if (employee && result.isAuthentic) {
grantSystemAccess(employee.permissions);
}
`

$3

`javascript
// Secure exam authentication
auth.setThreshold('high');
if (await auth.verify()) {
startExam();
} else {
requireProctorVerification();
}
`

🔍 Troubleshooting

$3

❌ "No keystroke data recorded"
`javascript
// Solution: Ensure startRecording() is called
auth.startRecording(inputElement);
`

❌ "IndexedDB not supported"
`javascript
// Solution: Check browser compatibility
if (!window.indexedDB) {
showUnsupportedBrowserMessage();
}
`

❌ "Low similarity scores"
`javascript
// Solution: More training or lower threshold
if (result.similarity < 0.6) {
suggestMoreTraining();
// OR
auth.setThreshold('low');
}
`

❌ "Web Crypto API not available"
`javascript
// Solution: Ensure HTTPS in production
if (location.protocol !== 'https:' && location.hostname !== 'localhost') {
console.error('HTTPS required for production');
}
`

$3

`javascript
// Reduce sample size for faster processing
const maxSamples = 5; // Instead of 10

// Use web workers for heavy computation (advanced)
const worker = new Worker('crypto-worker.js');
`

📈 Analytics & Monitoring

`javascript
// Track authentication metrics
const metrics = {
attempts: 0,
successes: 0,
averageSimilarity: 0,
trainingAccuracy: 0
};

// Log authentication attempts
auth.onVerify = (result) => {
metrics.attempts++;
if (result.isAuthentic) metrics.successes++;

// Send to analytics
analytics.track('biometric_auth', {
success: result.isAuthentic,
similarity: result.similarity,
threshold: result.threshold
});
};
