Abstract :
In this paper the feasibility of having an authentication system based on user´s behaviour is studied. The approach used is based on psychological mechanisms of authentication which are a subset of a broader class of biometric mechanisms. This project implemented a 3D graphical maze that a user has to navigate through. The user is authenticated based on information collected from their behaviour in reaction to the maze. Results obtained from the experiments revealed that this authentication system has a mean accuracy of 88.33% in identifying different users from each other.
