This is an interesting concept that is taking biometrics to the next level. This article describes an authentication mechanism that uses fingerprint sensors to generate signals that travel through the users’ body to authenticate the user. There is no need to send this signal over a network to authenticate the user.
It sounds like this mechanism is more complex and more difficult to hack than a normal fingerprint scan, but I would call it a stretch to say it is hack-proof. As with any authentication mechanism, an algorithm is still required to perform the logic to authenticate the user and make a decision as to whether the user is who they say they are. This feature may make that algorithm more complex, but hack-proof Probably not.
