BananaSecurity: just your smile, all you need to login. Make your face your password! BananaScreen will automatically lock your computer when you move away from it. As advanced as computer technology is, most of us still use passwords to unlock the screen of our desktop. They offer pretty good protection, but have a major flaw: no matter how elaborate they are, they still can be cracked given the necessary hardware and time. Amazing as it may seem, you can make use of biometrics technology in order to lock your computer. All you need is a webcam and a piece of software capable of facial recognition. The rest is easy.

anana Screen is specially designed to build a statistical representation of your face. The facial features are not stored in a regular picture, but as a binary file, so your picture is not stored on your computer. The application is designed to provide an easier and securer way to unlock your computer. The idea is for the computer to lock after a user-defined time of inactivity and when the user returns, the computer should unlock based on facial recognition.

Once you have your webcam connected to the computer, you should start Banana Screen. The webcam used during our tests was a Qwuickcam Communicate STX from Logitech. The developer assures you that older cameras (even two years old ones) work with the program, so there should not be a problem with compatibility. However, if such issue occurs, contacting the developer would be a good idea.
