Password Alternatives
We all know that passwords need to extremely secure and that need has increased with the advancements that have been made in technology. There have been several alternatives to the standard password that are much more secure and "unguessable". It is very important with the wide spread of communication services and financial services that are done over the internet. One of the alternatives is the radio frequency identification which is a chip that is injected into the body. When it is hit by a radio signal, it emits its own which functions as a password. Another interesting option is a heartbeat. Every person's heartbeat is unique -- so unique that no pattern of beats ever repeats twice. This may make heartbeats perfect passwords; Taiwanese scientists have recently devised a heartbeat-utilizing encryption scheme based on the mathematics of chaos theory. Currently the system is still a prototype but it looks very promising.
