The hackers they can't copy your tears! Even... Tears preserve them eyeα μας υγρά. Έχουν ακόμη και τη δύναμη να μας «θεραπεύσουν» από μία έντονη ψυχολογική φόρτιση. Μπορούν άραγε να προστατεύσουν και τα προσωπικά μας δεδομένα στο Διαnetwork;
Ο Στίβεν Μέισον, Αυστραλός οφθαλμίατρος, πιστεύει ότι έχει στα χέρια του ένα πολύ ισχυρό όπλο ενάντια στους hackers. Το ονομάζει το «πρώτο μοναδικό βιομετρικό pin στον κόσμο» και στην ουσία πρόκειται για έναν νέο μηχανισμό, ο οποίος σκανάρει τα δάκρυα και στη συνέχεια τα χρησιμοποιεί ως codeς accesss.
Mason dropped the weight of his research on the cornea and less on the iris. This is a rule in optical scanners anyway, as hackers cannot copy the unique way they change their eyes every time they cry.
The scanner has the ability to recognize a person, as each cornea has a kind of unique "map". The Maisons code, however, hopes to make hacker lives a lot harder. As much as they try to use the victim's data since the last time he was linked to his account, the system will constantly fly them out. Why; Because after the eyes change every time they tear, the system also expects to change the data slightly.
"The surface of the cornea is wet thanks to tears, so our data changes from one minute to the next," explains Maison in the Financial Times. "Therefore, every set of data recorded by each eye presents real miniature variations," he adds.
The goal of experts now is to test the new technology on smartphones, where it could be used to secure any payments or access to other services, such as email. If Maine is right and the "single biometric pin" proves effective, then it's possible that it could even be incorporated into ATMs or security doors.
