Aladdin Takes Authentication To Heart

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the keeping-you-alive-to-open-the-vault dept.

anadgouda writes "Aladdin Technologies is using cardio patterns to confirm identities. This can be eventually used for authentication and they say it offers better performance, cost and reliability. From the article: 'The technology reads intrinsic human electro-biometric dynamic signals acquired by touching a small conductive surface. The signature, called the BioDynamic Signature, is based on electronic signals produced from the human body, including the heart.'"

    There are some amusing points above about what happens when these rythms change - and anybody who's played with their hifi wires without following the instructions and switching it all off will know that the tones and volumes we produce change a lot from day to day. How can they seriously say they are DOING this now, when it doesn't seem at all feasible? Bring me proof.

    Just go to any Denny's or Perkins in the midwest. This technology is used in the incredibly accurate Lov 'o meter and other devices that use your biorythms to detect how personable you are or your capacity for romance.

    If you use this technology instead of passwords, you get authentication AND validation at the same time!
