NEW YORK CITY—You knew it had to happen, right? After all, ever since the iPhone allowed users to unlock their phones using just their fingerprints, you knew it wouldn't be long before other body parts could perform the same function—not only on phones, but anywhere biometric security can be used.
So it should surprise no one that CamSoda, a leading adult entertainment webcam platform, has announced that it will launch Dick-ometrics, the latest innovation in biometric security, which uses penises for secure account access.
The first iteration of Dick-ometrics, which rolls out today, enables CamSoda members to use pictures of their penises instead of a password to log in to their accounts on the site. During the log-in process, instead of typing in a password, users will have the option to upload a picture of their penis (preferably an aroused penis, which has more differentiating qualities for verification and are more secure). Using what the company calls proprietary Penis Recognition Tech or PRT, CamSoda is able to match that photograph with a previously supplied one, and verify the user.
"In order to ensure personal data is safeguarded against unwarranted individuals, biometrics have become progressively popular for its ability to provide a layer of security that is impenetrable," noted Darren Press, VP of CamSoda. "With the launch of Dick-ometrics, we are taking things to the next level. Like a fingerprint and an eyeball, which are two of the most commonly used body parts in biometric technologies, the penis has many, many differentiating factors like size, color and vein protrusion. However, unlike fingerprints and eyeballs, penises are not exposed to the public a lot of the time, mostly kept under clothing and shared with loved ones—presumably who are trusted."
In subsequent iterations, CamSoda plans to develop technology that uses penises and penisprints like fingers and fingerprints. Like a fingerprint, users will place their penis on a reader that can look at skin composition and temperature, which adds a layer to security. It also plans to develop similar technology for women.
