Authenticated electricity: Sony power outlets will charge you for charging

Sony is building a new kind of power outlet that raises a not entirely pleasant prospect—in the future, plugging a phone into a public wall socket might require authentication and take a chunk out of your bank account. But the technology will have many important uses, Sony says, from managing payments for recharging electrical vehicles to avoiding blackouts by intelligently regulating the use of power.

Announced by Sony last month, and demonstrated today in a video posted by Tokyo news site DigInfo TV, Sony’s authentication outlet manages electricity use on a per-user and per-device basis with NFC (near field communication) and RFID (radio-frequency identification) tools.

The technology may be years away from commercial release, but a prototype demonstration shows a handheld dryer being plugged into an outlet that has the ability to authenticate devices. The dryer doesn’t need to be modified because it attaches to the outlet through a plug containing an NFC chip.
