Now you can blind shoulder surfers with these two very cool computer security products. Very innovative. Very clever. Very secure.
PrivateEye™ is active display security software that responds conveniently and automatically to a user. PrivateEye presents a normal clear screen when the user is present and looking at the display, but when the user’s attention moves away from the display the software immediately blurs the screen. Similarly, if PrivateEye detects an eavesdropper it can automatically blur the screen. The solution also includes a facial recognition engine. PrivateEye requires only a standard webcam. (video).
Chameleon™ is a software and hardware solution from Oculis Labs that addresses the unique security challenge of protecting sensitive and classified materials while it is being displayed on computer screens. The solution protects displayed information against over-the-shoulder eavesdroppers, video recorders, remote electronic surveillance, and TEMPEST style threats. Using a patent-pending, gaze contingent, secure content rendering system, the software allows a trusted user to read a screen normally, but no one else can.
If you agree that this techonolgy is too cool, take a moment and help these folks win the "Hottest Tech in Town" Award. (vote here)
