As data and identity theft becomes more and more common, the market is growing for biometric

（生物测量）

technologies

to keep others out of private e-spaces. At present, these technologies are still

expensive, though.

Researchers from Georgia Tech say that they have come up with a low-cost device

（装置）

that gets around this

problem: a smart keyboard. This smart keyboard precisely measures the cadence

（节奏）

with which one types and

the pressure fingers apply to each key. The keyboard could offer a strong layer of security by analyzing things like

the force of a user's typing and the time between key presses. These patterns are unique to each person. Thus, the

keyboard can determine people's identities, and by extension, whether they should be given access to the computer

it's connected to

—

regardless of whether someone gets the password right.

It

also

doesn't

require

a

new

type

of

technology

that

people

aren't

already

familiar

with.

Everybody

uses

a

keyboard and everybody types differently.

In a study describing the technology, the researchers had 100 volunteers type the word < /p>

“

touch

”

four times

using the smart keyboard. Data collected from the device could be used to recognize different participants based on

how they typed, with very low error rates. The researchers say that the keyboard should be pretty straightforward to

B. Ambitious.

C. Caring.

D. Demanding.
