The developed security scheme for user authentication, which uses both a password and the various devices, is always open by malicious user. In order to solve that problem, a keystroke dynamics is introduced. A person's keystroke has a unique pattern. That allows the use of keystroke dynamics to authenticate users. However, it has a problem to authenticate users because it has an accuracy problem. And many people use passwords, for which most of them use a simple word such as "password" or numbers such as "1234." Despite people already perceive that a simple password is not secure enough, they still use simple password because it is easy to use and to remember. And they have to use a secure password that includes special characters such as "#!($^*$)^". In this paper, we propose the automatic fortified password generator system which uses special characters and keystroke feature. At first, the keystroke feature is measured while user key in the password. After that, the feature of user's keystroke is classified. We measure the longest or the shortest interval time as user's keystroke feature. As that result, it is possible to change a simple password to a secure one simply by adding a special character to it according to the classified feature. This system is effective even when the cyber attacker knows the password.

본 논문에서는 사람들의 키 입력 패턴은 각자 고유한 패턴을 지니고 있다는 점에서 시작한다. 즉, 키스트로크 기반 사용자 인증이라는 방식의 사용자 인증이 존재하고 있다. 다만 키 입력 패턴을 통한 사용자를 인증할 때의 정확도가 문제가 될 것인데, 본 논문에서는 다수의 사람들에게 다수의 단어를 입력하게 하였을 시 각 단어마다 가장 긴 지연을 지니고 있는 구간이 존재한다는 것을 가정으로 하였다. 정확도 향상의 문제를 해결하기 위해서 키 입력시 가장 긴 지연을 가지는 구간에 지연시간별로 특수문자를 추가시켜 줌으로서 단순한 조합의 비밀번호를 좀 더 강력하게 만들 수 있었다.
