hi,
Sending passwords through air as radio signals will be vulnerable to hackers who try to break code and get passwords. so scientists started researching for a secured way to send passwords by protecting from hackers.
Now university of washing ton started research and an electrical engineer and computer engineer combinely invented a way to send passwords safely by sending through body. they said that signals generated by sensors and touch pads will be transmitted through our body and can authenticate anything just by touching it.
They said that finger print sensors generate signals that are transmitted for authentication. "Let's say i want to open a door using an electronic smart lock,"said co-lead author Mehrdad Hessar, a UW electrical engineering doctoral student. “I can touch the doorknob and touch the fingerprint sensor on my phone and transmit my secret credentials through my body to open the door, without leaking that personal information over the air.”
Researchers tested this technique in iphones and laptops and also tested in different postures.The researchers found that fingerprint sensors and touchpads generate signals in the 2 to 10 megahertz range and employ capacitive coupling to sense where your finger is in space, and to identify the ridges and valleys that form unique fingerprint patterns..
so lets see how far this research will reach and makes our passwords hack proof.
