Abstract
During secure communications between two parties, the identity of the message creator is not always certain. In many cases, the signature of the message is automatically generated by the computer of the sending party. On the other hand, the signature of the received message from the sender indicates only form whose account the message comes, but it may not be the sender himself sending the message. In this patent, we propose the use of a personal attribute to be included in the secure message protocols. This personal attribute could be the personal typing rhythm (keystroke dynamics) of the message originator. This patent defines a methodology and algorithms for two different cases: when the information is encrypted, and when it is not. Also included in this methodology are the cases where a Rhythm Certification Agency (RCA) is used to validate rhythm information, or without an RCA. A Rhythm Software Application running locally on the user computer to capture and analyze the users typing rhythm is included in this patent.
