coondoggie writes "group of researchers is proposing a sensor that would authenticate mobile and wearable computer systems by using their unique electrical properties of a person's body to recognize their identity. In a paper being presented today at the USENIX Workshop on Health Security and Privacy, researchers from Dartmouth University Institute for Security, Technology, and Society defined this security sensor device, known as Amulet, as a "piece of jewelry, not unlike a watch, that would contain small electrodes to measure bioimpedance — a measure of how the body's tissues oppose a tiny applied alternating current- and learns how a person's body uniquely responds to alternating current of different frequencies.""
