Always On - Why your eyeball is the future of passwords

2013-03-12
it seems like every laptop tablet smartphone and web site has some kind of password and that makes sense we need to have our data protected but it's also impossible to keep track of a password for every website we visit or every device that we own so the vision that I see for the future is one king all Internet so in my keychain here literally this is my cue to my house to my bike and this is the key to my internet you because you baqi uses NFC technology to make logging into smartphones and laptops more seamless this is an application I will log into lastpass which is one of the password manager support CBT right and I'll put my key behind my phone and it will automatically launch the application right AFC NFC is like magic every time you use it there's little doubt that password authentication is an area ripe for innovation and the big guys are definitely keen to kill the password Google is looking into youbecause tech for its Chromebooks while Microsoft is playing with picture password protection with windows 8 then there's apples recent buyout of authentic a fingerprint biometrics company pippa in the UK is also targeting biometrics by developing fingerprint based authentication for tablets and smartphones and by onnum will soon be shipping software that uses a sample of your electrocardiogram to log in and authenticate but the coolest tech I've seen lately is I verify this startup uses your smartphone's camera to image and pattern match the blood vessels in the whites of your eyes it's gonna take some pictures look up and to the right so we do this two or three times initially to the left look up and to the right okay so you're now enrolled right cool yeah so now we will see if we can get you verified and now do that exact same thing again okay and to them all right there look up into the left look up there to the right and you're in and I'm in there you go look at that Wow still not everyone is convinced that biometrics is the wave of the future we have choose today not to include by metrics because my biometrics is static information and true but no one can steal it yes well I guess they could steal your eyeball I saw that our movie once it can steal a picture of your face and a picture off your fingerprints and it's already happen but I verify has an answer for that no one outside of terrible action movies can take my accra me you know that funny thing when your blood stops pumping different things happen to your blood vessels they're kind of small pressurized flexible tubing they actually change significantly so yes you can't actually steal someone's eye they're kind of our picture of the eye nor video of the I take that Hollywood yes so whether it's your fingerprint your heart rate your eyeball or a key that you carry around I think we can all agree that the passwords days are numbered and that is a good thing
