Among all the existing biometric modalities, authentication systems based on keystroke dynamics are particularly interesting for usability reasons. Many researchers proposed in the last decades some algorithms to increase the efficiency of this biometric modality. Propose in this paper: a benchmark testing suite composed of a database containing multiple data (keystroke dynamics templates, soft biometric traits . . . ), which will be made available for the research community and a software that is already available for the scientific community for the evaluation of keystroke dynamics based systems. We also built the proposed biometric database on soft biometric traits for keystroke dynamics to suit the experiment. 110 people had voluntarily participated and gave their soft biometric data i.e. the way of typing, gender, age and handedness.
