A web-based mouse dynamics visualization tool for user attribution in digital forensic readiness

Abstract

The Integration of mouse dynamics in user authentication and authorization has gained wider research attention in the security domain, specifically for user identification. However, same cannot be said for user identification from the forensic perspective. As a step in this direction, this paper proposes a mouse behavioral dynamics visualization tool which can be used in a forensic process. The developed tool was used to evaluate human behavioral consistency on several news-related web pages. The result presents promising research tendency which can be reliably applied as a user attribution mechanism in a digital forensic readiness process.
