On hands (the system of protection of the smartphone)

2019: Announcement

At the end of September, 2019 it became known of creation in National Research Nuclear University of MEPhI of a system under the name "On Hands" which blocks access to the smartphone if use it differently, than the owner.

According to developers, the technology differs from another similar in the fact that it does not cease to work after the malefactor entered the password or bypassed blocking.
