In the US, the finger vibration authentication method is presented. According to technology developers, it provides better protection than passwords, and is much cheaper than today's biometric solutions.

Everything is shaking differently.

Engineers Rutgers University in New Brunswick offered a new method of authorization of people - by microvibration of fingers. Researchers proceed from the fact that for each user they will be unique, and accordingly, in this way an individual signature can be obtained, it will be at least very difficult to forge.

The system, called VibWrite, works quite simply: to a hard surface - whether wood, metal, plastic or glass - an inexpensive vibrating motor and sensor is attached; When a person touches the surface with a finger, noise is injected into the engine vibration, read as unique signatures.

At the same time, they will be unique for each finger, and their short duration provides increased reliability of authorization, especially in comparison with code entry, graphic keys, and, as technology developers claim, with traditional biometric tools.

Another advantage over fingerprint or retinal scanners is that VibWrite is about ten times cheaper to manufacture and operate.

Accuracy at 95%.

Tests showed a 95 percent accuracy. True, VibWrite often forced users to enter codes several times before authorization worked in principle. Researchers believe that it will take another two years before the system reaches commercial readiness.

VibWrite testing was performed indoors. How it will function on the street in difficult weather conditions, is not yet clear. Tests "in the field" are yet to come.
