Abstract
There is provided, in accordance with some embodiments, a method comprising using one or more hardware processors for receiving a behavioral biometric model that characterizes a human user according to pointing device data of the human user, where the pointing device data comprises screen coordinate and time stamp pairs. The method comprises an action of monitoring an input data stream from a pointing device in real time, wherein the input data stream covers two or more spatial regions of a display screen, and an action of segregating the input data stream into one or more subset streams that is restricted to one of the plurality of spatial regions. The method comprises an action of computing a similarity score based on one or more comparisons of the behavioral biometric model and the one or more subset streams, and an action of sending the similarity score to a user authorization system.
