Sweden-based security company, BehavioSec, announced earlier this week that it was selected by the Defense Advanced Research Project Agency (DARPA) to provide them with IT security.

BehavioSec will be working on a project called BAA 12-06 Active Authentication for DARPA, a U.S. military research organization. The goal of the project is to provide security beyond passwords by using keystrokes and mouse movements to detect fraud.

The project will last for 3 years and will help BehavioSec add to its own research base to improve its technology.
