Abstract

The article presents the research connected with developing a mobile touchscreen behavioural biometrics solution that may be applicable for authentication and improving transaction security of financial services. The article aims to present the research approach and a literature review that identified research gaps and performed a critical analysis of previous results. The goal is to suggest possible improvements over the existing methods in the literature. The motivation, methodology and main problem statements of the aforementioned research are presented, focusing on the characteristics of behavioural biometrics methods. The main contribution of the article consists of the literature review focused on the characteristics of the approaches used, differences in results caused by the evaluation criteria of the research processes and their comparability. Based on it insights are derived which can be used to build touchscreen based authentication method and validate the results.
