Of course , it is a matter of time before NPCI launches
Voice Activated version of their Mobile Wallet
BHIM , as described in :
How soon , can be guessed by the following report in
Times of India ( 05 July ) :
=================================
Your face may be the next safe password
Apple
Inc. is working on a feature that will let you unlock your iPhone using your face instead
of a fingerprint.
For its redesigned iPhone, set to go on sale later
this year, Apple is testing an improved security system that allows users to
log in, authenticate payments, and launch secure apps by scanning their face,
according to people familiar with the product.
This is powered by a new 3-D sensor, added the
people, who asked not to be identified discussing technology that’s still in
development. The company is also testing eye-scanning
to augment the system, one of the people said.
The sensor’s speed and accuracy are focal points of
the feature.
It can scan a user’s face and unlock the iPhone
within a few hundred milliseconds,
the person said.
It is designed to work EVEN IF THE DEVICE IS LAYING
FLAT ON A TABLE, rather than just close up to the
face.
The feature is still being tested and may not
appear with the new device. However, the intent is for it to replace the Touch ID
fingerprint scanner, according to the person.
Apple is not the
first to use different forms of biometric authentication. In its latest phones,
Samsung included iris scanners that let users unlock their
phones and make payments by scanning their eyes.
Samsung’s feature launched to poor reviews as users were able to trick the
sensor with printed photo copies of a person’s eyes. Apple’s sensor has 3-D
depth perception, which means the system is less likely to be duped by 2-D
pictures.
