Ever thought of being able to identify yourself on your PC with a voice command? Soon it will be possible thanks to the operation of Google, which he found SlickLogin. An Israeli start-up specializing in a technology that allows websites to verify a user's identity using sound waves generated by computer speakers.
An acoustic password in all respects. The announcement of the agreement with the Mountain View giant comes from the Israeli company, which does not specify the financial details on its website. “Google was the first company to offer two-factor identification to everyone, free of charge, and is working on some great ideas that will make the internet safer for everyone,” writes SlickLogin on its website. We couldn't be happier to join their efforts."
The system devised by the Israeli start-up works as follows: by visiting the website you want to access, the computer speakers produce a unique sound, almost imperceptible to human ears, which is intercepted by an application ad hoc on the smartphone. The app that analyzes sound waves and sends user confirmation. Many websites, such as Google but also financial services sites, have introduced a double authentication verification system in recent years: in addition to the username and password, you must also enter a numeric code sent from time to time to your mobile device or generated by special devices (tokens).
