Edible Microchips To Replace Passwords ???

The payment service Paypal proposes the use of edible passwords to increase data protection. Users would swallow a microchip in pill form, which would record their body functions as an unmistakable identification pattern. Stomach acid would supply the power for operation.

[You may have to translate from the original German to read the report.]

No Way José !!! I will never do that.


And by the way, a signal would still have to be sent from the chip to some external device ... and that signal, even if encrypted, would be subject to interception, theft, and counterfeiting. So how would Paypal's system increase data protection?
