Comes from the Universita 'di Padova and Trento biometric method to unlock your phone without typing the codeThe patent is based on the observation that the arm movement performed by the same person to answer the phone feature is sufficiently stable and can be used to identify the person.
So Mauro Conti, a researcher at the Department of Mathematics, University of Padua and Bruno Crispo, University of Trento have developed a method to unlock the biometric smart phones without typing the code.
This technology allows you to unlock your phone and identify the owner in a safe manner, without the password, and can be implemented with sensors that are already present in smartphones currently on the market, so do not require any type of change by the manufacturers.
"The first experiments in the laboratory - Professor Conti said - have been very satisfactory with a false recognition rate of only 2.5%. This shows that the new method is superior in reliability compared to other biometrics such as that based on the recognition of the cavity of the ear. "That the smartphone market is growing, and compared to previous generation phones have more memory and computing power, have a touchscreen, GPS and many sensors including, for example, accelerometer and gyroscope. For such a fast development of hardware is not paid by an equally rapid implementation of some software, including the identification of the user password or pin. This is what the researchers note, promising that the biometric method is a real revolution in the security of mobile phones.
