New Finnish technology will prevent unauthorized use of mobile devices
The new technology developed by VTT, Technical Research Centre of
Finland makes it possible to identify the user based on her or his
physical movements such as walking style. This feature prevents
unauthorised use of portable devices such as laptops or mobile
phones. In the future, credit cards may also verify user's identify
based on their physical movements before approval of payment
transactions....
....A device is equipped with sensors that measure certain
characteristics of the user’s gait. When the device is used for the
first time, these measurements are saved in its memory. In normal use
the device continuously measures the user’s gait and compares these
measurements with the values in its memory. If they are sufficiently
identical, the device identifies and approves the user. If the values
differ, standard password-based identification is available....
