Closing in on BHIM V
4.0 !
Of course , it is a matter of time before NPCI
launches Voice Activated version of their
Mobile Wallet BHIM , as described in :
How soon , can be guessed by the following report in
Times of India ( 05 July ) :
=======================================================
Your face may be the next safe password
Apple Inc. is working on a feature that
will let you unlock your iPhone using your face
instead of a fingerprint.
For its redesigned iPhone, set to go on
sale later this year, Apple is testing an improved security system that allows
users to log in, authenticate
payments, and launch secure apps by scanning their
face, according to people familiar with the product.
This is powered by a new 3-D sensor, added
the people, who asked not to be identified discussing technology that’s still
in development. The company is also testing eye-scanning to augment the system, one of the people said.
The sensor’s speed and accuracy are focal
points of the feature.
It can scan a user’s face and unlock the iPhone within a
few hundred milliseconds, the
person said.
It is designed to work EVEN IF THE DEVICE IS
LAYING FLAT ON A TABLE,
rather than just close up to the face.
The feature is still being tested and may
not appear with the new device. However, the intent is for it to replace the Touch
ID fingerprint scanner,
according to the person.
Apple is not the first to use different
forms of biometric authentication. In its latest phones, Samsung included iris scanners that let users unlock
their phones and make payments by scanning their eyes. Samsung’s feature launched to poor reviews as users
were able to trick the sensor with printed photo copies of a person’s eyes.
Apple’s sensor has 3-D depth perception, which means the system is less likely
to be duped by 2-D pictures.

Dear Shri Hota :
Just read your views in Eco Times ( 13 June / Start
Ups and the Sarkar ) , where you say :
“ We are very happy with Start Ups
Post BHIM we
have decided as a policy to work with Start Ups in developing new products and
applications to enhance the payments eco-system “
Could the next improvement in BHIM , be a “ Voice Activated “ version ( BHIM V 4.0 ) , as described in :
This breakthrough will enable millions of illiterate /
rural Indians to start using BHIM
Earlier , I have penned my suggestions in :
