To protect smartphones was used passwords, keys, and even fingerprints. But experts at the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) have proposed a new way to protect data.
A team of experts on cybersecurity Georgia Institute of Technology, led by Associate Professor Chow Polo (Polo Chau) developed a unique system LatentGesture, which can be called a kind of tactile signature.
As reported by the developers, the new system will continuously monitor all keystrokes and user gestures, given the strength and characteristics pressing movements. For example, some users are characterized by rapid, abrupt pressing, while the other movements are slower, and smoother. If motion is not registered correspond to the usual system may block access to the mobile device.
The system allows you to store five tactile signatures - the owner of the device and the four authorized users. Its main advantage, according to developers, is that the system is constantly running in the background and the user does not have to use additional security and authentication methods.
According to test results proved that the system recognizes authorized users in 98% of cases for smartphones. In the case of tablet computers identification accuracy is at 97%. The official presentation of the new system will take place within LatentGesture symposium Chinese CHI 2014 from 26 to 27 April in Toronto, USA. Related Products :
