If you take your account security seriously, you may be looking at the latest means to use encrypted passwords. However no matter how tough the password a system may generate for you, it can always be cracked.

What can’t be cracked is bio-sensor based passwords which would be unique to yourself. That’s why people started with face recognition software. Unfortunately this was not quite the success it was touted to be since it was relatively easy to fool with a disguise.

Then came the more advanced finger print password, wherein the same concept of having a unique fingerprint that solved crimes, was used to protect systems. However hackers were able to swipe the print and duplicate it to enter the system.

Now the scientists are speaking about using the unique pattern or brain activity when shown a set of pictures as the way to log in to a system or account. Having had a 100% success in identifying the 45 volunteers in the research study at Binghamton University, the system seems to be a huge improvement.

The current challenge for this science project is how to measure the brainwaves in an easier manner. Currently the participants need to wear a special hat stuffed with wires and bio sensors for the brain wave identification to occur. This is not commercially adaptable.
