New system provides security by monitoring how user touches
the screen
Passwords, gestures and fingerprint scans are all helpful
ways to keep a thief from unlocking and using a cell phone or tablet.
Cybersecurity researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology have gone a
step further. They’ve developed a new security system that continuously
monitors how a user taps and swipes a mobile device. If the movements don’t
match the owner’s tendencies, the system recognizes the differences and can be
programmed to lock the device.
