VTT’s encryption method takes authentication to a new level – improves privacy protection
VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland has developed new kinds of encryption methods for improving the privacy protection of consumers to enable safer, more reliable and easier-to-use user authentication than current systems allow.The method combines safety, usability and privacy protection, when, until now, implementing all three at the same time has been a challenge.“Our method protects, for example, the user's biometric data or typing style,” says Senior Scientist Kimmo Halunen.In biometric authentication, the risk is that a person's permanent biometric identifiers, which cannot
