OneTap: Two-Factor Biometric Authentication
How to utilize your fingerprint and heart pulse for secure transactions, a two-factor biometric authentication
Introduction
When we talk about authentication, it has some flaws, but nature offered us something unique since the day we were born on this planet. That singular thing exists in us! Our heartbeat and our fingerprint. OneTap is a system and device which provides authentication services using a
combination of fingerprint and pulse identification for many purposes, including but not limited to checkout counter transactions and ATM cash withdrawals. Imagine a world you have seen in sci-fi movies, where you are carrying nothing but can pay and get services all day long, using only one tap.
Idea Inspiration
This is from 2015, so imagine having three kids around 6, 5, and 1 of age. While shopping with them, I encounter some challenges at the checkout counter. Imagine you are dealing with kids from the age range of 11 yo to 3 yo while trying to pay for what you have bought. Things I noticed while having this situation:
- Tap/Insert/Swipe the card.
- Take your iPhone out and tap on the checkout machine.
