Smartphone manufacturers have replaced a number of authentication systems during their existence. Whether it was code or word locks, drawing different shapes on the display, fingerprints or face and iris scans, the goal was always to secure the phone user's data as much as possible. However, the efforts to intensify the security of phones do not stop even now.
Samsung registered a very interesting patent application a few days ago, in which it clarifies in which direction it would like to try to move authentication. However, if you are expecting an improvement in the fingerprint sensor or a better face scan, you are wrong. Samsung focused on authentication using blood flow under the skin of a person.
Does this idea seem crazy to you? It's not quite like that. The paths through which blood flows under the skin of people are practically not the same for anyone, which would perfectly ensure the safety of users. Sensors on smartphones or smart watches and bracelets would then be used for authentication, which would scan a certain place on the human body and, accordingly, evaluate whether it is really the owner of the device or not.

If the patent really works as Samsung describes it, this news could be a huge benefit especially for its smart watches. These are already equipped with a number of sensors, so it is quite likely that they would not receive any significant modifications. If the user then put them on and they recognized him, he could perform all actions through them without the need for further authentication. This would facilitate, for example, contactless payments or similar matters.
Although this paten is certainly very interesting, we should look at it with an appropriate distance for now. Technology companies register a lot of patents every year, and only a fraction of them actually see the light of day. So let's be surprised if Samsung really decides to develop a similar product. It would undoubtedly be a huge breakthrough.
