The article is related to the computer systems security and to the problem of detecting the masqueraders, intruders who pretend to be legitimate users of computer systems, in particular. The research concerns computer user verification based on analysis of the mouse activity in computer system. The article presents an improvement of user verification method by introducing a new method of user profiling. The new user profiling method is based on the reduced number of features without the loss of information is introduced. The presented method of user profiling allows to simplify and speed up a user’s activity data analysis and is not causing the deterioration of intrusion detection. Additionally, a method of aggregating mouse activity basic events into a higher level events is described. This article presents the preliminary research and conclusions.
