Password-less security is not something new to the tech world. We have found the forms of these cutting-edge technologies with NFC features and Bluetooth technologies. But that demands an extra gadget to be carried along with us, which in most cases is your smartphone.
But as we get deeper into the harsh realities of security breaches, we realize how feeble these so-called ‘secure’ features could turn out to be.
Face recognition technology and gesture sensing have found its way, but with their own flows. And now, it’s the turn of human physiognomies to try their hand at the security features in smartphones and other tech gadgets.
Nitesh Saxena, an Indian-origin scientist at the University of Alabama, is guiding his team called ‘Spies Lab’ to meet the results of this research.
They are evolving a feature that would work upon the human characteristic gestures to unlock devices. And helping them on their way are accelerometers, gyroscopes, and proximity sensors, which grab these fine motions upon making a call or other such functions with the smartphone.
The software that is mooted is intended to work like the keyless devices on market today. Except for that, you may not require the radio-wave bearing devices with you.
Your smartphones and laptops will have its access open only when it senses that they are in the right hands. And that’s not just with the human moods, but also on the temperature, humidity, and pressure data which can be acquired using the modern-day smartphones.
The combined data from your device sensors would become handy in bringing down relay attacks. Even on the payment front, the nod would be given only if it finds a match in the location data of the reader and user. Nearby Wi-Fi hotspots, audible signals from the microphone etc. serve this purpose.
As for the developers, they believe that it’s the integration with multiple devices that would reinforce the security walls further. These include wearable gadget technologies like smartwatches and Google Glass.
