Mohamed <a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/our-stories\/story\/3-minute-thesis\/\">described his research<\/a> this way: \u201cIn the future you\u2019ll protect your privacy with your heart. The biometrics most commonly used are usually your fingerprints or your face, but high-resolution photography could easily allow anyone to capture your digits or create a mask with multiple angles of you face.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Password rules are becoming absurd, he said, and companies are shifting to biometrics to secure private information. His thesis describes how a person can be identified, whether they are running or sitting down, using a database of electrical heart pulses. The biometric is very accessible but hard to steal.
