We all have seen passwords, SSL, HTTPS, public private keys, hashing, salting, digital signature, biometrics, honeypots, vpn key generating token, etc. which are ways of achieving authentication, security and encryption. But what if we use our surroundings and few other parameters as a private key/password.

You store profiles for your home, your office, garden you go to. Profile is a mix of your personal attributes (could be biometrics), surroundings like structures, sun light direction/strength/etc. which together form your unique private key.

Rather than generating and storing your private key on pedrive/device, etc why not build a private key as a mix of surrounding, sunlight, physical parameters like wind/structures/etc along with personal physical attributes. You could create multiple profiles for various places. This though works for limited number of places only. But to take it to multiple locations mix these personal attributes with Google maps building an equation together by digitizing both – that’s our private key that works everywhere.

You would say what’s the advantage over just using personal attributes as a private key. Well this varying key made of Google maps data plus physical parameters plus personal parameters is varying. Its like our VPN key generating token which generates a new key as you move, just that this can’t be stolen. 🙂 There are lot of sensors and lot of computing power to help us in this.
