The US military is developing a new identity verification system that could replace passwords and biometric systems for web users.
The technology is being created under a multimillion-dollar contract for researchers at West Point, home of the army's military academy.
The focus of West Point's work is on "cognitive fingerprints" rather than physical characteristics such as palms, face, DNA or iris recognition.
The biometric application programme interface (API) is based on the emerging field of behavioural-based biometrics, where algorithms are used to confirm identity by recognising the way a person uses desktop or mobile device.
It may include observing the rhythm of writing, how a mouse or cursor is moved, frequent typographical errors and typing speed.
