Oki unlocks cellphone with a look
July 26th, 2007
Oki Japan has just introduced the Iris Authentication Middleware that adds an extra layer of security to current alphanumeric passkeys. It can be retro-fitted to current cellphones that operate on Symbian or Windows Mobile, letting the application unlock the handset after scanning the user’s irises. While there is a 0.00001% chance of registering a false positive, that figure is pretty much negligible. You’ll need to pre-register the eye to be used with the software beforehand, but that process takes up just a few seconds. Looks as though this new application will be made available in cellphones for the Japanese market. Angsty teens ought to love this feature to prevent nosey parents from prying where their eyes don’t belong. Just make sure your cellphone has a camera has at least 1 megapixel resolution as anything less than that won’t be compatible.
