Skull Vibrations May Replace Passwords

⊲ Popular Science ⊳ Researchers at Rutgers University have developed VitalID, a software system that authenticates extended reality headset users by detecting the unique vibrations that heartbeats and breathing create as they travel through the skull. Because every person’s bone structure and facial tissue shape these vibrations differently, the patterns act as a biological password. Tested on 52 users over ten months, VitalID correctly identified legitimate users more than 95 per cent of the time and rejected unauthorised users in over 98 per cent of cases. The system could be integrated into headphones or wearable devices, offering a discreet alternative to fingerprints or facial recognition for secure authentication.
