Active Authentication via Korean Keystrokes Under Varying LLM Assistance and Cognitive Contexts

Abstract: Keystroke dynamics is a promising modality for active user authentication, but its effectiveness under varying LLM-assisted typing and cognitive conditions remains understudied. Using data from 50 users and cognitive labels from Bloom's Taxonomy, we evaluate keystroke-based authentication in Korean across three realistic typing scenarios: bona fide composition, LLM content paraphrasing, and transcription. Our pipeline incorporates continuity-aware segmentation, feature extraction, and classification via SVM, MLP, and XGB. Results show that the system maintains reliable performance across varying LLM usages and cognitive contexts, with Equal Error Rates ranging from 5.1% to 10.4%. These findings demonstrate the feasibility of behavioral authentication under modern writing conditions and offer insights into designing more context-resilient models.
