What Technology Can
Displace The Password?
None, at least in this universe where
the password can be defined as what
you know and nobody else knows.
NONE!
7th January, 2016
Mnemonic Security, Inc., Japan/UK
Why? 1/2
This observation would lead us to another entrance to Alice’s
Wonderland. Biometric solutions used in cyber space need a password
(backup password) registered in case of false rejection. If “something”
which has to rely on “the other thing” could displace “the other thing”,
your foot should be able to displace your leg for walking.
Some people say “PIN can”.
This observation would, however, only lead us to the entrance to Alice’s
Wonderland. If a PIN that is a weak form of numbers-only password
could displace the password, a puppy should be able to displace the
dog, a kitten the cat, a cub the lion.
Others say “Biometrics can”.
Why? 2/2
It is not easy to conceive that the password can be displaced by
multifactor schemes for which one of the factors is a password or ID
federations which require a reliable password as the master-password.
What about not using passwords altogether?
Yes, the password could then be killed dead, although it would be criminals
rather than us that will be the beneficiaries of such password-free cyber
space where our identity is established without our volitional participation.
By the way
What is the answer?
If we think of using non-textual passwords on top of continuous use of
textual passwords, we would be very close to the observation that
passwords should not be killed dead but should be expanded.
Here comes Expanded Password System that enables comfortable login.
