#2The "side-channel" is your brain. Doh.
This implies the possibility of "something you know" may be only just as secure as "something you have."
As people integrate and evolve to include technology, the security aspects of bio-technical interfaces are going to get really interesting and damn important.

#3This seems like testifying against yourself. Aren't lie detector type systems only done voluntarily?

But really, looks like this experiment could be totally derailed by closing your eyes, or by thinking of irrelevant topics.
Still pretty neat though.

#5This is an awfully contrived title for an article that could be summarized as "people can find out whether or not you recognize something shown to you by monitoring electrical activity along the scalp."

#6Neat idea. The debit card pin bit does not seem feasible though, at least in a brute force setting - finding out a 6 digit pin, showing each number for 1 second, takes > 11 days in the worst case.

#7I wonder what would happen if they tested them on, say, mathematicians or engineers with a penchant for numbers.

Don't most people have a 4 digit pin?
But in any case showing pins that way wouldn't work anyway - most people have a muscle memory for their pins, but would not recognize them when written down.

Tension, apprehension, and dissension have begun

#10Maybe we can sue God or something for misconception? I am waiting his HN post where he will say, we have learnt something with 0-day and improved the security of your brain. Maybe a sheep as the reward for the scientist! :)
