“The salient front in this effort is preventing sensitive information from being collected by a given device, which is why the prototype phone covering is designed to block cameras and to turn all audio into white noise.” The Air Force is testing an experimental biometric smartphone case designed to both jam any signals from its […]
A team of researchers at Carnegie Mellon University has developed a footstep monitoring system that can be used to identify people based on their movement patterns as they walk across a room. The system utilizes cylindrical sensors to measure the vibrations caused by footfalls and other movements. The sensors themselves are a few centimeters […]
According to MarketWatch, payment provider Mastercard is working with transport firms to develop a system that would authenticate passengers based on their gait. The system would be an alternative to using a physical transit pass, allowing passengers to access public transport networks via technology that would identify them by the way they walk. In addition […]
Autonomous_ID, a developer of gait-based biometric identification systems, has announced that Denis R. Hebert has joined its Chairman’s Advisory Board. Hebert, who will join the Board as a principal advisor on biometric identity and access control systems, joins Autonomous_ID with decades of experience working in the industry. “I am honored to welcome Denis to the […]
China has begun testing surveillance technology in its northwestern Xinjiang region that aims to predict an individuals’ behavior by reading their emotional state. The technology uses cameras to scan people’s faces and ‘read’ their facial expressions in order to “identify criminal suspects by analyzing their mental state… to prevent illegal acts including terrorism and smuggling,” […]
All kinds of organizations require physical security systems, from insurance firms protecting customers’ sensitive files to engineering companies guarding against industrial espionage. So as with any other area where human guards and alarm systems have been cornerstones of the traditional security architecture, the emergence of sophisticated biometric technologies has started to shake things up in […]
A Brooklyn-based behavioral biometrics specialist has revealed that it was recruited to aid in the Department of Defense’s development of a ‘proof of life’ authentication system. Called Twosense.ai, the company says it won a contract through Army Contracting Command’s Rapid Innovation Fund. The deal is valued at $2.42 million, and was actually awarded in late […]
“The aim is to develop a highly sophisticated authentication system that can passively identify a user without relying on any single modality.” The US military is making progress in its effort to develop a ‘patterns of life’ authentication system to replace the Common Access Cards traditionally used by personnel. According to a new FCW report, […]
Imperial College London researchers have refined an authentication system based on gait biometrics that they say meets National Institute of Standards and Technology and Dieharder standards. As Tech Xplore reports, the system is based on multiple sensors positioned throughout the user’s body. Each of these sensors can capture movement patterns from its own particular position, […]
Israel-based FST Biometrics is shutting down its operations, according to a new report in Haaretz. The organization is known for its In Motion Identification, or “IMID”, solution, which is designed to use face scanning and gait recognition to identify individuals as they approach doors and other checkpoints, allowing authorized personnel to seamlessly gain access. The […]
