DARPA: A really crazy one service στρατιωτικής τεχνολογίας των ΗΠΑ αναπτύσσει μια μορφή των βιομετρικών μετρήσεων με βάση το πώς χειρίζεται κάποιος το ποντίκι του computer of.
The company is preparing to add behavioral biometrics data, για παράδειγμα το πώς ένας χρήστης υπολογιστή χειρίζεται το ποντίκι ή το πως γράφει ένα μήνυμα ηλεκτρονικού ταχυδρομείου, σε υπάρχον λογισμικό τεχνικού ελέγχου ταυτότητας. Οι υπάρχουσες τεχνικές ελέγχου ταυτότητας περιλαμβάνουν κάτι που ξέρετε (όπως τον κωδικό πρόσβασης ή το PIN), κάτι που έχετε (όπως ένας αριθμός από το RSA token key-fob) και συμβατικά βιομετρικά στοιχεία (όπως τα δακτυλικά σας αποτυπώματα).
Researchers at the US Army academy West Point have received multi-million dollar grants when the green light from the DARPA (Advanced Defense Research ServiceOr Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency). Grants are part of it active authentication program of DARPA.
The program describes a behavior-based recognition technology also known as "cognitive fingerprint" that will replace outdated passwords.
The current standardized method for validating a user's identity in an IT system requires something that is inherently unnatural: creating, remembering, and managing large and complex passwords.
The Biometrics Program is geared towards creating next generation biometric features that can help users with technology coming directly from the US Department of Defense. (This is not necessarily good ...)
The combined approach of using multiple ways to continuously verify a user's identity is expected to bring very secure, valid and transparent systems. The authentication platform will be developed with open application programming interfaces (APIs) to allow the integration of other biometric software or hardware that will be available in the future from other sources.
Mark Stockley, an independent consultant, welcomed the new behavioral recognition technique and says it is far superior to other forms of identity authentication. How a user handles a mouse could be distinctive and very difficult to imitate, creating a biometric that has the advantage over fingerprint sensors.
"If effective, cognitive fingerprints could offer significant advantages over other existing forms of authentication," Stockley told Sophos' Naked Security blog.
“Unlike today's biometrics that are used that does not require an expert latest technology equipment and unlike password authentication they don't rely on users' memory, or whether a password is strong or not.”
"Technology should also enable continuous authentication in computer systems, so that users stay connected when they are online and log off immediately when they leave."
