Facelock is a recently proposed password alternative that is based on the psychology of face recognition. At a time when simple passwords can easily be cracked and complex passwords are forgettable, Facelock has appeared as an effective future technology for keeping things on the Web secure.
Performance
Facelock is an approach that is based on familiarity and not on memory. The familiarity with a specific face has become the basis of this new technology. Instead of remembering several PINs and passwords, it is highly effective if a set of familiar photographs become your security lock. Under this new approach, you can have a personalized lock by selecting some face images that are only known to you. Access to the locked system will only be given when you recognize faces presented in those images. Thus, the system can be expected to work really well if uniquely known sets of faces are selected.
Appearance
Facelock will require you to register with a system. For this purpose, you will have to identify and nominate a set of faces that become your password for that system. It is important to select faces that are only known to you. Others should not be able to recognize those faces. Researchers have tried to develop some sets by combining faces from multiple domains that are all known to specific users. Through their studies, they have proved that such passwords cannot be hacked.
Ease of use
It is very easy to use this new technology, as it makes use of your face recognition ability. You will not have to memorize long and complex passwords by using a set of faces as your online security tool. Additionally, it is very easy to generate faces that are only known to a user. It is almost impossible for one person to recognize all faces set by another person unknown to him.
Usefulness
Facelock is a highly useful system that has the ability to create several face grids for each user. While logging in, a user will always be presented with a grid containing only one familiar face that they will have to recognize. While this familiar face will stand out for that specific user, it will not stand out for a fraudster. Thus, this system assures to be credible and reliable to be used by every individual. You will not have to remember any password or name the presented faces.
Quality
It is a robust quality system, as it is based on a person’s power of face recognition that is almost impossible to be lost. The system has the power to replace all existing online security systems.
