Mark of the beast: Could tattooing with UV ink help patients protect pacemakers from hacking?
Invisible Tattoos By tattooing device-protecting passwords on patients in UV responsive ink, medical personnel can access the code during emergencies.
More and more implantable devices, like pacemakers or defibrillators, are turning to wireless signals as a means to communicate with external devices, but in doing so they open themselves to security breaches. Several solutions are in the works that tackle this problem by upping device defenses, but by piling on security measures, yet another risk emerges: that at a critical time an authorized physician might not be able to access the device.
So Microsoft Research proposes putting a new technological spin on an old, time-tested security protocol: protect every device with a password, then tattoo the password right onto the patient in invisible UV ink.

Can this be the official "mark" of the beast that the Antichrist could use since its actually a real mark?
