Rysiek, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keystroke_dynamics We may first want to understand the minimum resolution that timing requires. Keypress events can be randomized within this interval. Another track: 170WPM ~= 42000 KPH ~= 11 KPS So, maybe we have 90ms delay on average between keystrokes for a speed typist. I didn't realize you could use keystroke analysis to identify one person out of a pool of millions, rather, that a certain keystroke pattern matches as best a certain subset of users but it wouldn't be valuable/practical for positive identification. Text analysis is probably a way more useful signal. In for more details, -Travis On Mon, Oct 5, 2015 at 11:50 AM, rysiek <rysiek@hackerspace.pl> wrote:
Hi all,
so, as we all know, Big Brothers tend to use keypress timings to identify users on the Net. This of course leads to a question: are there ways to introduce randomness in keypress timings?
I imagine a Linux kernel module that could be doing this, for instance. Anybody heard of anything like this?
There are things like All is Text: https://addons.mozilla.org/pl/firefox/addon/its-all-text/
But this is not really a solution, rather a work-around (for instance it does not solve the problem for multiple browsers).
