Microsoft patents wearable device that transfers data through your body

With every tech company from Apple to Google reportedly working products to compete with the Pebble and the Sony smart watch, wearable tech is one of the hottest topics on the gadget frontier. Now Microsoft is looking to the next level with an invention that aims to make data transferring – from using a credit card, logging into your account, to accessing a building or car – as secure and difficult to hack as possible. What Microsoft invented is an "electrical device" that used your body as a “transmission channel” to transfer data through direct physical contact with another device like a computer, mobile phone or game console.
