Give your password a bodyswerve in future
Print Edition
INTERNET users may before long have a secure solution to the modern plague of passwords, in which they can use visual patterns or even their own body parts to identify themselves.
Developers at the world’s biggest high-tech fair, CeBIT, in Hanover, Germany, say that one of the biggest frustrations of having a smartphone and a computer is memorizing dozens of sufficiently airtight passwords for all their devices and accounts.
“The problem of passwords is that they are very weak, are always getting hacked and, from a user point of view, they are too complicated,” said Steven Hope, managing director of Winfrasoft from Britain.
Winfrasoft has developed an alternative based on a four-color grid with numbers inside, like a Sudoku puzzle.
Users select a pattern on the grid as their “password” and because the numbers inside the boxes change once per minute, the code changes too, improving security.
Biometric data offers another alternative.
Apple has already equipped its latest generation iPhone with a fingerprint reader.
Now Japan’s Fujitsu has developed an identification system based on each person’s unique vein pattern and at its CeBIT stand the company was showing off its PalmSecure technology.
