Ear Noise as Authentication?
I read an article that Paul Marks wrote recently about Dr. Stephen Beeby, an engineer at the University of Southampton, UK. Evidently, Dr. Beeby has received funding to continue his research on using ear-generated sounds, as a form of authentication. Research is reportedly in the early stages, yet there is already speculation on the Internet as to how to defeat it based on a description of the theory.
The idea that ears carry passwords is, in my opinion, questionable. Still, what is the likelihood that one day we will be using ear-generated sounds as a means of proving who we are? Your thoughts?
