Introduction

As users in the world of internet of things data privacy is key when choosing a device or a particular service. What if I told you your data is not as secure as you think? What if I told you there is a better way to safeguard your information which is impossible to breach. It is estimated that $10 billion is lost through data breaches according to research conducted by Norton. Stay with myself and my team as we tell you more about this breakthrough of a product. As we advance with new technology we encounter disadvantages with human biometrics. Unfortunately, human biometrics encounter security issues that include identity theft. Due to their weak security system it’s easy to steal people’s identity. Therefore, my team and I decided to introduce the idea of an EEG system to protect people’s identity.  

Benefit

The EEG system introduces a better security system. Unfortunately, human biometric affects people’s privacy due to how easy it is to copy people’s fingerprints. Instead, the EEG system introduces a better concept of creating a strong security system. The reason why it benefits more than  the regular human biometric system is because of the brainwaves. Each brainwave has a unique pattern, instead of a fingerprint. It’s also low cost, and time saving for the company. It reports being trusted by many people because of how secure it is. Unlike the human biometric, the EEG credentials are preserved forever.
