Your tongue print is as unique as your fingerprint
Your tongue's unique pattern of ridges and grooves acts like a personal identifier, offering a highly accurate and promising new method for secure authentication.
Just like fingerprints, the unique pattern of ridges and grooves on your tongue can identify you. Researchers believe these "tongue prints" are distinct for each individual, shaped by genetics and environment during development. Studies in biometrics show tongue prints can distinguish people with over 95% accuracy in controlled settings, making them a promising tool for secure identification. This offers a valuable alternative to fingerprints, especially when hands are unavailable or contaminated. While stable in healthy adults, injuries or disease can alter them, highlighting the need for timely biometric capture.
