countless websites have been hacked in recent months with hundreds of thousands, if not millions of stolen passwords. It is in the interest of all the companies out there to work on improving Internet security, and the D11 conference last week, it seems that Motorola is leading the pack. Their idea sounds like pure science fiction, but intends to make large-scale hacking attacks a thing of the past by turning the whole body of a person by a unique identifier, with a tattoo or even one pill a day.
The authentication of electronic temporary tattoo contains an antenna and sensors built in, which makes it similar to keyfobs used to slip into the workplace or the payment of credit cards without contact, but with much less chance of losing them or leave them in the office.
pill once a day is described as an "internal battery apple" that would be activated by your stomach acid. Once powered on, a switch inside the pill itself turns on and off again to create a signal that is similar to an ECG, turning your whole body into an authentication device. The pill also work as regards the authentication of mobile phones.
There is no time to rip all your passwords even if, as it seems unlikely that these will be available to the public any time soon. Still, it is good to know that research is there, and Motorola have already won FDA approval for the pill, a process that can often delay projects for years. Clearly something must be done to restore the password-protection service, we currently rely on, so who knows? Maybe disposable electronic tattoos will be the next big thing,
Meanwhile, you can strengthen your Internet security by investing in a VPN service. A VPN acts as an additional barrier between your private information and unscrupulous users to help keep your data safe.
