NEC scientists have managed to create one system biometric authentication that uses a person's ear to allow them to access sensitive information.
Σε μια εποχή που τα δακτυλικά αποτυπώματα μπορούν να παραβιάζονται, ορισμένοι σαρωτές ίριδας μπορεί να ξεγελαστούν από 2D εικόνες, και οι κωδικοί πρόσβασης δεν προσφέρουν ασφάλεια, οι επιστήμονες σκέφτηκαν να στραφούν σε ένα άλλο μέλος του σώματός μας. Φαντάζει πραγματικά δύσκολο, να επινοήσει και να κατασκευάσει κάποιος το εσωτερικό μέρος του αυτιού και έτσι η παράκαμψη του μέτρου security will be much more difficult.
The researchers report that the authentication system they devised works with the Mission of a sound to one's ear and then measure the echo they receive.
Echo is reflected by the outer channels of one's ear, in the tympanic film, and by the sound that goes beyond the tympanic membrane and is reflected in the inner parts of the ear.
This reaction is transformed into a digital signal, which acts as a unique identifier for each individual.
NEC, the company behind this news technology, he says that their system has a precision of more than 99%. He also says that new technology could be marketed by 2018.
The most obvious use of this technology is on smartphones, and it will come as a new way to lock the device when the user places his phone in his ear to answer a call. The smartphone is already equipped with speakers and microphones that the new technology needs.
NEC says the whole process will take about a second.
