Everything changes for smartphones, they will no longer be able to unlock with their fingerprint. Here’s the new replacement technology.
The security of our personal data it has long been the prerogative of companies that produce tech devices. Starting from authentication to be able to unlock them, with some technologies launched in recent years that have managed to become the standard. Just think of fingerprints first and then to the face scanner. Which we can now find in any type of telephone.
But things could change soon. And in some ways, improve. According to what has emerged, in fact, there is a new technology being tested that could replace the smartphone unlocking method via fingerprint forever. So as to make the system even safer and easier to use, without waiting times before having access to your mobile phone. Here’s what it’s all about and when this could become a reality.
Smartphone with fingerprint? Nope, there’s new technology
If everything goes as planned, let’s get ready for a whole new technology for unlocking our smartphones in the future. No more fingerprintbut a completely new system that is being studied by experts of the Indian Institute of Technology Madras. According to what we read, the idea is to establish a technology that guarantees unlocking with the breath.
To achieve this result, they were recorded 10 different breaths from 94 participants. Analyzing everything with an air pressure sensor and then entrusting the data collected to artificial intelligence. And it seems that the accuracy in identifying the owner is 97%. A huge figure, which makes it clear how this technology could soon become reality for all new generation phones.
To date, however, we are talking about a system still in its embryonic stage, so much so that the tests were entrusted to an external group of scholars and researchers. Who doesn’t work personally on the production of telephones. But the privacy numbers bode well for the future. It cannot be ruled out that in the next few years we will have a new biometric recognition system, even more accurate than those that we have at our disposal today.
We will talk about it again in the coming months, when the tests are carried out on a larger scale. If the numbers were to remain almost the same, the first big tech companies could evaluate the possibility of investing their funds.
