Abstract

In the world of computing, security is of paramount importance. Security is inevitable in many fields of computing like networks, internet, intranet, e-commerce etc. But unfortunately today's technology has failed to provide required security to a satiable extent. This paper proposes the idea of implementing a high fidelity security system using the concept of corporal pheromones which are distinct/unique to an individual. Basically pheromones are the undetectable chemical signals that are produced by an individual. This attribute of the pheromones is used as an analyte for identification in any security system. Biosensors are used to analyze them. Biosensors are that class of analytical device which are capable of providing either qualitative or quantitative results.

The principle involves storing up of the Pheromonal attributes of an authorized user into the database of the security system. And whenever he wants to access, his Pheromonal attributes are compared with the one stored in the database. And the access is allowed only when there is a match, otherwise the access is denied. Pheromones are the odorless chemical signals produced by human body. The term pheromone - from the Greek roots of pherin, means to transfer, and hormone, means to excite. These chemo-signals produced by one individual can affect the psychological functioning of other humans.

Androstadienone and Estratetraene are the two steroids produced by the body and often included in perfumes and colognes. Androstadienone is produced by men. Estratetraene is produced by women. Among group interactions, or being close to other people in groups, these unconscious chemical signals going on between these people affect their psychological state and mood.
