Being able to securely log into your phone and not having to remember a yet another pin, is currently the aim of some big technology companies. Apple are investigating the fingerprint, whilst Samsung already have face recognition and are researching the possibility of eye recognition. Voice recognition must surely be only a stone's throw away.
The rumours have been around the technology world, since last summer. The unsubtle acquisition of a biometric security firm, only strengthened the hearsay that a finger print chip will be included in the next iPhone. AuthenTec was purchased for lb235 million, which just adds weight to the importance Apple put in this development.
These same rumour sources have been predicting minimal changes to the appearance of the new iPhone 5S, but will improvements inside. Yet again, a faster processor and a better camera being the main attractions. Some predictions of a cheaper version have surfaced, along with talk of a new iPad model coming out.
If the fingerprint reader was included on the new iPhone, it would have to be located on the screen. This would lead to a more secure access process, compared to a four digit pin. Other companies have tried alternatives before, Samsung has used "Face Unlock" for the past year, on the Galaxy S3, but the firm had to learn the lesson that a photo could do the same job as a real person.
Both Samsung and Apple utilise voice recognition software within their everyday functions. Currently neither system can differentiate between people, however this could be developed to be used as a personal voice recognition service, allowing a phone's ownerdirect access to their phone. In a similar vein, the Samsung eye-tracking system has been used for a basic function of keeping the screen lit, but could easily be developed for further uses.
The terms "Eye Scroll" and "Samsung Eye Scroll" have recently been the subject of trademark applications and the connected documents seem to indicate eye tracking becoming a more advanced feature. By knowing where you are looking, the phone can automatically move the content on the screen to where you want it to be. Reading an article would no longer require you to turn a page or scroll down, your eyes would do all the work for you.
It is the aim of all these companies to move security forward in a major leap. Removing the need for users to remember a series of passwords or even usernames. Logging into a website could be securely achieved by an eye scan or a fingerprint reading.
Google has jumped on the band wagon and began researching into a universal security system that would allow users to log into sites and services, using just their smart phone. Creating an ID ring that you would associate all of your online accounts with, removing the need for a series of passwords or even a solitary one, using your biometrics to log in, providing the highest form of security currently available.
