New communication standard allows for data transfer through the human body. A new communication standard developed by Microchip Technology allows secure, bi-directional data transmission through a human body. At this stage, the technology uses a small device similar in size to a garage door opener which the user carries close to their body, for example in a pocket. It then sits ready to transmit data through the body when the user touches a base unit, which could for example be hooked up to a door handle. A secure key transmitted from the device in the users pocket and through their body into the door handle could then unlock the door. One day it could be easy to see the technology built into a smartphone carried in a users pocket, allowing a wireless link from the phone to a headset, or for a file or virtual business card to be transmitted when shaking hands.
