Fingerprint has been the gold standard of securing confidential info and data. This method of verifying the unique finger whorls made it difficult for someone to breach the security until it was confirmed that fingerprints can be hacked using conductive ink.  Researchers from Michigan State University found a method to surpass the smartphone's fingerprint scanner by using conductive silver ink and AgIC paper. 

On the other hand, an earprint technology was presented in CEATEC exhibition in Japan. The proponents of the said technology said that it's more secure than earprint as it uses the ear's unique geometry and the echoes of the sound sent to the ear.
