Abstract
The article concerns the issues related to a computer user verification based on the analysis of a keyboard activity in a computer system. The research focuses on the analysis of a user’s continuous work in a computer system, which constitutes a type of a free-text analysis. To ensure a high level of a users’ data protection, an encryption of keystrokes was implemented. A new method of a computer user profiling based on encrypted keystrokes is introduced. Additionally, an attempt to an intrusion detection based on the \( k \)-NN classifier is performed.
