Conventional passwords are marching to their death, and biometric authentication might be the future, especially with the possibility of widespread fingerprint scanning or facial-recognition technology. And now, researchers in Germany have a new way to give users access to their devices. Their technique, which they call “SkullConduct,” relies on the unique way sound passes through each person’s skull. Every skull modifies sound differently, and the researchers measured those minute differences to use as an authentication system.
