Brainwave authentication can be used instead of passwords to protect computer logins, researchers at the University of California at Berkeley’s School of Information said this week. The development opens up the potential for users thinking certain thoughts or picturing specific images to gain access to devices, thereby adding a layer of biometric security. UC Berkeley’s John Chuang presented the team’s findings at the 17th International Conference on Financial Cryptography and Data Security, held in Okinawa, Japan this week.
