Just a quick update… if you’re interested in biometrics (see our home made keystroke dynamics demo), I read an interesting article published by newscientist.com that claims one day our ears may be used to uniquely identify us :
YOU are the victim of identity theft and the fraudster calls your bank to transfer money into their own account. But instead of asking them for your personal details, the bank assistant simply presses a button that causes the phone to produce a brief series of clicks in the fraudsters ear. A message immediately alerts the bank that the person is not who they are claiming to be, and the call is ended.
Sounds pretty cool to me. Read the rest here:

Guess it’s time to clean out that ear wax.
