Ileana Buhan, a Romanian computer scientist, has developed a way to use facial biometrics as a way to secure information as it is transferred between mobile devices, according to a ZD Net article. When the users are transferring data they need to take pictures of each other’s face to compare to the stored image and allow for a secure connection.
To authenticate the two users, the mobile devices generate unbreakable passwords based off of facial recognition from the pictures. This way, as both users have two pictures that are giving out the same biometric data on their device, both devices should create the same password for the connection. While the system was designed for use with mobile devices, such as PDAs and cell phones, it can also be used in other biometric systems.
