BIOKEY_GUARD

BIOKEY_GUARD is a secure authentication system designed to go beyond traditional passwords by verifying users based on their unique typing behavior.

Purpose

The main purpose of this project is to prevent account takeovers, credential theft, and bot-based logins by adding an invisible but powerful security layer behavioral biometrics. Even if an attacker knows the correct password, they cannot easily replicate how a real user types.

Goals

• Enhance authentication security using keystroke dynamics (dwell time & flight time) instead of relying only on static credentials.

• Continuously verify user identity in real time, not just at login.

• Detect and block fraudulent access using ML-based similarity scoring with strict confidence thresholds.

• Provide a modern, intuitive UI that visually reflects security status without compromising user experience.

• Build a scalable, cloud-ready system using React, Spring Boot, Python ML services, and MongoDB Atlas.
