Biometric Identification Using Intra Body Communications

Brief Description

An innovative system for biometric identification that utilizes intra-body communication for secure authentication.

Full Description

This technology encompasses a biometric identification system comprising a biometric transmitter device and a biometric receiver device, utilizing at least one transmit and receive electrode for contact with an individual's skin at separate locations. The system transmits a signal through the individual's body, which is then received for biometric authentication, leveraging the unique channel response of the individual's body as a biometric marker.

Suggested uses

• Wearable devices for personal identification and access control. 
• Financial transactions at POS terminals and ATMs with enhanced security. 
• Secure access to restricted areas or systems within corporate and government facilities. 
• Healthcare for patient identification and access to medical records.

Advantages

• Enhanced security through unique biometric authentication that is difficult to replicate or forge. 
• Eliminates the need for traditional and less secure authentication methods like passwords. 
• Flexible implementation in various forms, including wearable devices and point of sale terminals. 
• Continuous authentication capability by comparing channel responses periodically.
