My Body as a Key: Biometrics
We use our physical features to withdraw money and obtain certificates of authentication. It won't be long before our bodies are used as keys. Korea's biometric authentication technology is nearing commercialization. Seven parts of the body can be used for biometric authentication. Among them facial and fingerprint recognition is already being used in areas demanding high security measures. Iris identification is almost ready for on-site use as well. In combination with fin-tech, these biometric authentication technologies are likely to flourish in the smartphone market.
