My voice is my password...
Well, not really.
I don't like biometric authentication for many reasons - one of the most important being that it simply cannot be revoked. If someone manages to fake my biometric data, whether it is my iris, my fingerprint or my voice, it is impossible for me to change it. All I can do is to hope the imposter will get caught, and that nobody else will repeat the process...
But that's not what this piece is all about - it's about another voice related technology that can be used to iidentify you and grant you access to your home, your office, public transport, your computer - almost anything. That device is your cellphone.

Skeptisk til Google Wave
Jeg er jo, som de fleste vet, generelt skeptisk til ny teknologi. Se f.eks. saken om e-valg. Nå er altså Google Wave ute i beta (som alt fra google) og drøyt 100 000 har fått tilgang til å leke. Jeg er ikke av dem, men det er ikke derfor jeg er skeptisk.
