    All people type in a unique rhythm, rate, and pattern. So, a program can
    be written to validate a persons identity. Now, it is only another layer
    of security, because we also type different based on our mood and such.
    So it would have to have a variance allowed. Which allows some other
    person to fall with in the allowed variance.

I thought it might be an extra level of protect if openssh could use such a technique. I could give you my password but you still wouldn't be able to get into my account. It could be a option for the extra secure accounts.
