Even if the market penetration rate of biometric technologies is still far below its potential, many biometric systems are used in our daily real-life. One of the main reasons to its low proliferation is the lack of a generic and complete approach that quantifies the performance of biometric systems taking into account individuals' perception among the process. Among all the existing biometric modalities, authentication systems based on keystroke dynamics are particularly interesting. Many researchers proposed in the last decades some algorithms to increase the efficiency of this approach. Nevertheless, none significant benchmark is available and commonly used in the state of the art to compare them by using a similar and rigorous protocol. We propose in this paper: a benchmark testing suite composed of a database and a software that are available for the scientific community for the evaluation of keystroke dynamics based systems.
