Commercial Products
There are several home software and commercial software products which claim to use keystroke dynamics to authenticate a user.
Intensity Analytics (http://www.intensityanalytics.com) - is based near Washington, DC, and has a patent-pending solution called CVMetrics which uses a variety of methods for identifying and validating users on a continuous basis across applications. The CVMetrics application delivers a number of statistical weights and measures for implementation in different environments from compliance and documentation, to authentication, to forensics, to field intelligence applications, and others.
AdmitOneSecurity - formerly BioPassword (http://www.admitonesecurity.com) is a patented commercial system which uses keystroke dynamics - in addition to other transparent authentication factors - to associate a user to their digital identity and detect online fraud — see the References section below for a link to a review from PC Magazine as well as a research report from Coalfire Systems on how the product enables PCI, FFIEC, and HIPAA compliance.
BioTracker - from (http://plurilock.com/) is a biometric authentication software that uses continuous authentication to verify the identity of a user. By collecting behavioral biometrics (mouse and free-text keystroke movements),BioTracker creates a unique biometric profile for each individual accessing the network. This powerful application can authenticate users in real-time, offering large organizations unprecedented levels of network security.
KeyTrac (http://www.keytrac.de) - unlike traditional methods, KeyTrac works with any text the user enters (not only passwords or always-the-same-text methods), thus making it the first method able to analyze any text input in the background, without disrupting the work flow of the end user. The concealed background keystroke recording, combined with the high level of security, offer a number of attractive options for implementing the system in e-commerce applications — something that would not be possible using traditional keyboard biometrics.
iMagic Software (http://www.imagicsoftware.com) makes Trustable Passwords, a patented commercial system which is designed for both web authentication and large-scale enterprise authentication in conjunction with eSSO and supports all platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux) and major enterprise infrastructure. Trustable Passwords is being used by websites to authenticate customers and in enterprises including multi-hospital health systems for user authentication and interfaces with other authentication technologies including Knowledge-Based, Device forensic, and out-of-band authentication.
ID Control (http://www.idcontrol.net) delivers keystroke dynamics with KeystrokeID which offers an impressively low FRR and FAR for verification and identification. KeystrokeID is easy to enroll and manage through their fully integrated and centralized identity and access management solution called ID Control Server.
Deepnet Security (http://www.deepnetsecurity.com) has also developed a keystroke biometric authentication system, TypeSense. It is claimed that their product employs advanced new algorithms such as auto-correlative training and adaptive learning, and achieves better result than other similar products.
Psylock (http://www.psylock.com) is a method for biometric authentication based on a user's typing behavior. Therefore the user is authenticated by the way he types on a conventional keyboard and depending on the result of the analysis he gets access to certain data. Psylock was a finalist in the Global Security Challenge award 2007 and third in the German IT-Security Award 2008. Concerning the error rates (FAR/FRR), Psylock claims to be the technological leader for keystroke dynamics.
Authenware Corp. (http://www.authenware.com) provides the highest security levels to enterprise applications, the web, and any form of transaction that engages a software artifact. Founded in 2006 and is headquartered in Miami, Florida (USA). Certified by International Biometric Group (http://www.biometricgroup.com) in 2009. AuthenWare Corp. is a global company with more than 14 technical & Commercial Offices around the world and a Research & Development Laboratory in Mendoza, Argentina.
bioChec™ (http://www.bioChec.com) has a patented implementation which uses keystroke dynamics for ubiquitous web-based login as well as workstation authentication. It is the recipient of the "BiometricTech Best of Show 2003" award as well as receiving "SC Magazine Global Awards 2005 Finalist".
DiBiSoft (http://www.dibisoft.com) has an implementation which uses keystroke dynamics for Windows authentication in hidden mode.
Probayes (http://www.probayes.com) has developed a unique keystroke dynamics solution for web applications. The solution leverages one of Probayes's patents on probabalistic computing.
Delfigo Security (http://www.delfigosecurity.com) provides multi-factor risk-based authentication to prevent identity theft and fraud. The solution from Delfigo Security uses keystroke biometrics and other behavioral characteristics in an AI based algorithm to create unique digital identity of an individual. Delfigo's solution easily integrates out-of-band capability to in-band authentication methods.
BehavioSec (http://www.behaviosec.com) provide behaviometric solutions encompassing keystroke, mouse, & environment dynamics for both windows continuous authentication and client-less web based to aid fraud prevention. BeahvioSec are headquartered in Sweden.
Anyone considering building a new product using keystroke dynamics should understand the legal issues (see below), and figure out as well how to have an authorized program's use of keystroke interception survive the removal efforts of multiple anti-spyware programs. In this case, the security enhancing programs may be fighting with each other.
On top of that, if the desired result for a web-based product is to use keystroke dynamics to decide whether to cause a pop-up window to appear, asking for re-entry of a password or other verification question, new pop-up blockers may prevent that feature from functioning.

Famous quotes containing the words commercial and/or products:
“A commercial society whose members are essentially ascetic and indifferent in social ritual has to be provided with blueprints and specifications for evoking the right tone for every occasion.”
—Marshall McLuhan (1911–1980)
“Isn’t it odd that networks accept billions of dollars from advertisers to teach people to use products and then proclaim that children aren’t learning about violence from their steady diet of it on television!”
—Toni Liebman (20th century)
