# Security Keyboard Recognizes Typing Patterns By Nisara | Published 2007-04-21 | Science Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cut-down-on-the-identity-thef-with-the-keyboard-that-recognises-your-typing References: [dailymail](http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/technology/technology.html?in_article_id=449308&in_page_id=1965) The problem of identity theft has been rising even though we have the [security systems like passwords](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/passwordless-authentication-platform) and [fingerprinting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drug-screening-system) to protect our information. Now, computer experts have developed a software system that monitors how you type. BioPassword, a US company, recently launched the new software in England. The company claims that the software can help to cut down on identity theft. The software works under the principle that everyone has their own typing style. The company claims that the software can recognise users with 99 per cent accuracy. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.7/10 - Popularity: 1% | Activity: 11% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Science](https://www.trendhunter.com/science) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Identity Theft Prevention:** The development of software that monitors typing patterns can disrupt the identity theft industry by providing a more secure method of authentication. - **Behavioral Biometrics:** The use of typing style recognition technology can lead to disruptive innovations in the biometrics industry, allowing for more accurate and secure authentication methods. - **Data Security:** The implementation of software that monitors typing patterns can disrupt the data security industry by adding an additional layer of protection against identity theft. ### Who This Affects Most - **Cybersecurity:** The cybersecurity industry can benefit from the disruptive innovation of software that monitors typing patterns as it provides a more secure method of authentication to combat identity theft. - **Biometrics:** The biometrics industry has an opportunity for disruptive innovation by incorporating typing style recognition technology into their authentication systems. - **Data Protection:** The data protection industry can leverage the implementation of software that monitors typing patterns to enhance their security measures and prevent identity theft. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Biometric Password Managers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/1password-passkey.md) - [Biometric Sensor Password Authentication](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/passkey.md) - [High-Tech Residential Security Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/residential-security-system.md) - [Secure Identity Features](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/okta.md) - [Palm-Recognizing Smart Locks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/phillips-palmlock.md) - [Biometric Banking Technology](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/biometric-system.md) - [Biometric Bank-Grade Door Locks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/securam-touch.md) - [Passwordless Authentication Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/passwordless-authentication-platform.md) - [Fingerprint-Locked Water Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baricade.md)
