> The contract, an other transaction agreement (OTA) awarded through DOD’s Rapid Innovation Fund, will focus on next-generation identity verification by authenticating users “by their behavior, such as how they walk, type, carry their device, or interact with the screen,” TWOSENSE.AI said in a release.

It sounds like a bad idea. I'm reminded that for many, many years; the "locks" on the US's nuclear weapons had the combination set to all zeros, because the Pentagon was worried the complexity of using an actual combination would mean they'd be rendered useless in wartime [1]. It seems like the height of foolishness to tie military effectiveness to a finicky and unreliable "AI/ML" solution. Soldiers will probably behave differently in wartime, and I can large numbers getting locked out of their devices as a result, at least initially.

[1] Since any war they'd be used in would probably last less than an hour.
