You wouldn't store the exact sequence, but use the sequence to one-way compute the actual password. There is no fundamental difference between a sequence of key-presses and a sequence of motions, gestures, whatever. (keypresses on the matchbox-keyboard are also a kind of gestures, it's "just" a matter of assigning meaning to them) > c) In the future I could imagine the neo equipped with a > RFID reader or some other very short range wireless thing. > The rfid tag could go into the strap of a wristwatch, a > bracelet, a ring or whatever ... That would need encrypted communication (not like modern passports please).
