ATAP’s Project Abacus aims to eliminate passwords from our lives

Following the incredibly futuristic announcements of Project Soli, Vault and Jacquard, Google’s ATAP team had an additional crazy announcement at its presentation earlier today at Google I/O. This next endeavor passes the name of Project Abacus, and it also aims to remove passwords permanently by studying the way you type, walk, talk and also a variety of other signals. By confirming that you'll be in fact normally the one holding your smartphone or sitting at the computer by way of the aforementioned signals, Project Abacus be able to get rid of passwords altogether, and utilize the data collected about yourself as sufficient verification.

During the presentation earlier today, head of ATAP Regina Dugan explained that previously, research done by academic institutions stood a difficult time making a system that had been as secure as obviously any good four-digit PIN code. So, Google partnered with multiple universities, in addition to 25 experts from separate institutions to get acquainted with a 90-day research period hoping to improve these numbers. With the help of 1,500 participants overall, Google has improved the computer so much that it’s now apparently 10x better than fingerprint systems.

The whole technique is based on a trust score, ones the highest scores are expected to access similar to a mobile banking application, and also the lowest scores would still get you use of a game. If the phone is classified as wrong hands, though, the unit should be able to understand that it’s not you, and request the users password, exactly like it currently does.

ATAP has certainly made huge improvements on this security field, unfortunately it might be awhile until we come across this tech make its way to your real world.
