Bracelet Nymi uses heart user instead door key

Technology companies are working hard to develop new forms of user-friendly authentication. Fingerprint scanners are already being used to unlock the iPhone, and the app PayPal works on phones Samsung. Ford became interested in using biometric sensors in their cars, while Intel has invested in a company that intends to build in recognition of the iris scanners to PCs and tablets. It seems that the next frontier for biometric authentication system will be using the heart rate .

About a year ago, the company has created a bracelet Bionym Nymi, which recognizes its owner by a unique heartbeat. The device creates a unique identifier, which is used for authentication. If earlier Nymi could only unlock the computer, today - to open these doors. At a computer security conference in Atlanta ASIS Bionym company announced a partnership with the developer of the virtual keys Brivo Labs.

    Heart contracts in series, which distinguishes it from the iris or fingerprint scan as an object. This makes it an ideal form of identification, so as to pass the test does not need to do anything - the top manager explained Brivo Labs Lee Odessa.

Transferring data from the bracelet Nymi a compatible device with preinstalled Brivo Labs performed via Bluetooth. Brivo Labs technology is already being used in some offices, doing the work of concierge and security guards. According to Odessa, Nymi could potentially turn on the lights at the entrance to the room to drive and do other useful things. For security purposes, bracelet only works with one user on and off when it suits the other person.

Nymi - this is only a small part of what awaits us in the future . Opening the doors and unlock the computer is the starting point. The next step is to offer personalized information.
