"Chemist Proposes 'Sweaty Analysis' to Better Secure Electronics"

Jan Halámek, an assistant chemistry professor at the University at Albany, has released a new concept paper in which he focuses on cybersecurity and the use of sweat analysis as a new method of biometric authentication. The proposed approach for unlocking electronics, analyzes sweat to build a unique amino acid profile that would be stored within the device and used to identify its owner upon attempted unlocking. This article further discusses the details of this new biometric-based authentication method, the research behind this approach, and the inadequacy of current forms of authentication.
