Furthering the scope of bone conduction, now AT&T is working on, and has currently readied a prototype demonstrating a Bio-Acoustic Data Transfer Technology that enables the user to unlock doors and mobiles by transferring digital keys through their bones. The users can also transfer contact information like a tiny business card, merely by shaking hands.
How Bio-Acoustic Data Transfer Technology works (with security perspective)
As demonstrated in the following video, the user has to touch the piezo-electric transducer (it’s basically a Guitar pick-up) connected to the phone, which pushes out a digital key
as vibration. This keyed vibration is transmitted through the user’s
body (bones) which identifies the user and unlocks the door. The key is
unique for every user and must match with the owner’s key
specifications. Since each individual has a unique skeletal structure
and bone density, the transmitted key unique for each. If the user is an
intruder, the authentication will fail and the door will stay locked.
