Seclock I-A-S VoiceKey brings new confidence to homes, offices

A QUANTUM LEAP IN SECURITY!

THE VOICEKEY WILL NEVER BE THE SAME AGAIN…

The Palo Alto laboratories of Voicesec Inc. have come up with a revolutionary new voicekey, Seclock. It is quite simply impossible to duplicate or forge - guaranteeing the security of your most sensitive files, working areas, or your home. The key is based on the acoustic recognition of a fingerprint of three sounds and their micro-oscillations.

Until now, voicekeys have relied on two vowel sounds for recognition, the letters I and A. Voicesec’s new Seclock is the first to incorporate a third sound, the consonant S. At the same time, the Voicesec laboratories have developed a computer model of the micro-oscillations present in the human voice, forming an acoustic image of the mouth, the nose, the larynx and respiratory tract, and the body-shape of the individual subject This image shows how the sound is created and how it resonates in each individual.

Simulation of the factors influencing an acoustic event is extremely precise work - the model delivers an accuracy of 0.01mm on all parameters. The model also takes account of normal changes taking place in and around the vocal organs, such as various distances from the microphone, tiredness, shortness of breath through exertion or illness, the current state of the speaker’s digestion, removal or filling of teeth, and any temporary inflammations or swellings, down to the microlevel of mouth ulcers.

All previous generations of voicekeys have demanded that the speaker be at a regular distance from the lock, and have required a matched pattern for the pitch and speed of delivery when the sound password is fed to the locking system. This has naturally often led to problems with doors that refuse to open, perhaps because you are carrying a bulky object or have just climbed 26 flights of stairs. These headaches are now a thing of the past: Seclock opens safely and surely to accredited personnel or family members from as far away as 20 feet (around 6 metres), and quite irrespective of the speed or pitch of the speaker’s delivery.

The SIMM5 module that operates as the system’s memory can easily be located almost anywhere. The likelihood of finding two identical combinations of sound-prints or that someone could forge a print of an accredited person is so infinitesimal - try winning the jackpot in the weekly Virtual BigSix Lottery ten times in a row and you’ll know what we mean - that we offer a lifetime guarantee against unlawful entry on all Seclock models.

But the best is yet to come…

Seclock is less expensive to buy and install than nearly all voiceprint security systems, while offering an entirely new standard in reliability. When you consider the peace of mind it brings to your concerns over file security, storage areas, or your personal residence. We live in troubled times, but more than 5,000 simulated tests by independent international security standards institutes have shown that Seclock is currently the state-of-the-art in ensuring that YOU will not become the next victim of intruders.

Toteuma-arvio 2026

Toteuma lyhyesti

  • Ilmiön toteuma: 4/5
  • Toteuma viiden vuoden tarkkuudella: kyllä; arviointi-ikkuna on 2000–2010
  • Toteuma väljemmällä aikahorisontilla: kyllä, erittäin vahvasti
  • Ilmiön ydin: äänen biometrisiä ominaisuuksia käytetään henkilön tunnistamiseen ja pääsynvalvontaan.

Pankit, puhelinpalvelut ja laitteet ovat käyttäneet puhujantunnistusta, usein muiden tunnisteiden rinnalla. Väite väärentämättömyydestä ei pitänyt, sillä synteettinen puhe ja tallenteet loivat uusia hyökkäyksiä.

Johtopäätös: äänibiometrian ydin toteutui, vaikka täydellisen turvallisuuden oletus osoittautui vääräksi.
