Abstract

Previous biometric systems have attempted to identify users solely by eye or mouse data. In this paper, we seek to find out if combining both kinds of data produces better results. In our system, mouse movement and eye movement data are gathered from each user simultaneously, a set of salient features are proposed, and a Neural Network classifier is trained on this data to uniquely identify users. After going through this process and investigating several Neural Network based classification models we conclude that combining the modalities results in a more accurate authentication decision and will become practical once the hardware is more widespread.
