Several researchers from the University of Tubingen in Germany have Invented a new system that allows smartphone owners to interact with their computers using an application and a QR code. The system is demonstrated on the iPhone where the eKaay application reads a QR code on the computer screen and logs the user into the email box without the need for a username or password. The system identifies the user based on the QR code and knows in which email to authenticate the computer, everything is done automatically.
With the eKaay process You can register by phone on ZDV webmail. Sign in without your password. This is useful in untrusted computers, perhaps because existing Trojan or keylogger else could see your password. Also You do not have to type more your username and password, but only one 2D code photographed. Smartphone must have an Internet connection. It also reaches an Internet access wlan, as the iPod or on an Android mobile phone without internet flatrate.
The system works on the iPhone and students from the University of Tubingen are already testing the system for email boxes within the faculty. Think that such a system would allow us to log in anywhere very simply and easily and without worrying that our passwords could be discovered by ill-intentioned people. For now, the eKaay system has not been designed to be used on a large scale, but in the future we will probably have the opportunity to test it ourselves.
