Face and Eyes So "Password" Entry Windows 10

In the WinHEC conference that occurred in China on Tuesday (09/17/2015), Microsoft announced that the latest operating system Windows 10 will be equipped with a fingerprint-based security technology, facial recognition, and iris.
The information summarized Compass Tekno from ZDNet, Wednesday (03/18/2015) states that a variety of new methods based biometric called by the name "Windows Hello" will be used to authenticate the login instead of the traditional password.
The introduction of biometric-based security technology such as face identification is relatively safer and easier to use than typing in keywords that are vulnerable stolen or broken easily.
Enough to appear in front of the computer, Microsoft said, a user would immediately be given access to the system. Demonstration of these capabilities can be seen in a video released by Microsoft under.
Together with Windows Hello, Microsoft also introduced the API "Passport" so that third party developers can also take advantage of biometric technology based login in Windows 10, for example in the application, network, or a web page.
Windows 10 biometric data is stored locally on the user's computer and locked cryptographic data. This minimizes the risk of data theft biometry because the information is not transmitted to the outside of the computer.
It should be added that the biometric-based security technology of Windows 10 requires special hardware support.
Fingerprint identification requires a scanner, while face recognition and iris requires hardware support more complex, include Intel's 3D RealSense camera and infrared sensors special. Both are not yet widely available on desktop or laptop computers currently available.
Windows 10 is scheduled to glide around mid-year, in mid 2015. Later, the operating system will be available for free for the owner of a computer running Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 8.1.
