Security researchers continue to explore what can be measured as successful alternatives to passwords, and the effort requires alternatives to make authentication easy but safe and reliable. We are already witnessing advances in iris recognition and fingerprints; might security systems experts use brainwaves as a means for personal identification? A research team has been working on a special approach that involves brainwaves and words—as words mean different things to different people, and the brain waves which words provoke could serve as identifiers to replace traditional passwords. Bas den Hond in New Scientist on Tuesday told the story about that research.
