User authentication apparatus controlling access to systems, inputs owner's login name and password and then extracts the owner's timing vectors from keystroke characteristics with which the owner forms a training set. A semantic network uses multiple links to indicate that different pattern components of user's behavioral access create different kinds of relationships and 'symbolic representations'. A neural network is trained by using each of the owner's timing vectors in the training set as an input. When a user inputs the owner's login name and password, it's checked and the user's timing vector is extracted to type the user's password if checked and demoted in confidence level if otherwise. The user's timing vector is applied to neural network and difference between the input/output is compared with a predetermined threshold; and if the difference is greater than the threshold, is prohibited. Preferably this is aided by response time to personal questions.
