And to get access to this high security area a computer 1st needs to scan my body movements biometrics i increasingly replacing typical passwords and access keys for example. Biometric systems can recognise a persons specific physical attributes their fingerprints facial features iris. The technology is already used around the world by the somali army indian doctors and for authenticating patients for important drugs or for Online Banking month smartphones. Or even systems that look under your skin so to speak such as infrared scanners that are used in vain matching oxygen for blood in fiends absorbs more inferential light than surrounding tissue so that vein patterns can be matched. Scientists are currently developing technology that can recognize a person. On the basis of the heartbeat. Others are working on identifying a person by their brain waves. Sounds like biometrics super practical i no longer need those endless letter number and character password combinations happy days or is there a catch we talk to professor quest of mine or to find out if teachers Internet Technologies and systems at a pos them based Research Institute was more secure up of as are my passwords or biometrics. Think that we should be using your fingerprint to log in its obviously more convenient you just put your finger on the reader are identified and that youre in. Thats much easier than typing a pos word the last words are often we get happening theyre a little out of date Password Protected systems are easy to implement thats probably why theyre so common. That. Thats a cost issue he has and so on the most sense as i can use to scan a fingerprint or face the more accurately i can capture someones biometric profile for. The security of this Technology Depends on how well its implemented and if there are enough senses this is more secure than passwords. Solution talk Iris Recognition fingerprint scans and facial recognition similar in the sense that the old check for a single constant biometric feature. Which the system recognizes me puzzle a password by contrast is something i need to memorize i should write it down anywhere because otherwise anyone who finds it can pretend to be need. To complete the future is a multi factor authentication or at least 2 factor authentication of code and i think that ultimately the most user friendly systems will be the ones used the most been exchanged. So biometric identification is convenient but is our personal data Safe Companies using this tech have to ensure that biometric data is securely stored and encrypted ideally and user devices and not if some clout just makes it harder for hackers to get to unfortunately thats not always the team of israeli researchers managed to hack into a 23 gigabyte database with over 27000000 records containing fingerprints facial profiles and much more but of course password databases have also been compromised beyond large scale attacks theres also a risk of individual systems and devices being cracked and im a bit worried about how successful hackers have been at outwitting biometrics. Password can be stolen someone can watch it enter it somewhere or find where you wrote it down or even just get this cant happen with biometric identification tag biometrics are convenient and save users from having to remember passwords. But unlike past. And you cant change your biomedical data if its been hacked. And under Lab Conditions hackers have managed to outsmart biometric encryption technologies. For instance they duped an i phone fingerprint scanner using a fingerprint lifted from a glass. And combining a picture of a persons iris with a contact lens got them past a Samsung Phone iris scanner. Hackers from germanys Chaos Computer Club have developed a wax hand that fooled a palm vein scanner. And chinese hackers spoofed apples face ideal life in its Detection Technology with just a pair of glasses and some tape. We should stress all these hacks were carried out under Lab Conditions the quality of a system sensors largely determines how safe it is which means smartphones are easier to outwit than elaborate Security Systems. Clearly biometrics arent as safe as you might think even though a scenario like taking a fake wex hand along to break into a high security area isnt very realistic either still many Tech Companies keep rolling by a measure of security features the latest apple and google models for example let you make payments using facial recognition tech pretty convenient but its not personal data safe with these companies and what if companies or states get too nosy. In Great Britain c. C. T. V. Cameras are ubiquitous the average londoner is caught on camera 300 times every day but if facial Recognition Technology were applied to analyze that c. C. T. V. Footage. Surveillance cameras are widespread in britain and london has been called c. C. T. V. Capital. People have even begun using them independently of the authorities. Because you can go on facebook get peoples profile images and easy upload them onto it on software criminals except when the police upload images all over the light you can pick up the. Security system and the cameras your system picks it up so this is not easy perhaps but its also an invasion of privacy in britain many are used to c. C. T. V. Cameras but since authorities have started combining surveillance cameras with facial recognition tag some say this goes too far people like bridges from cardiff who recently made a shocking discovery the van was parked just around the corner and the by the time i was close enough to see facial Recognition Technology written on the fan it had already captured my data several times over and i felt like an invasion of my privacy im a law abiding member of the public i was going about my daily business i wasnt committing any crime i was no threat to anyone and yet the police were there filming me and capturing my data essentially. Bridges took the welsh police to court and lost hes currently appealing that ruling but for now Police Continue to use their tactic scanning hundreds of faces per 2nd checking them against wanted list. We are developing and there are actually people being taken off the streets who are wanted for offenses or court direct result of the deployment of this technology. The question remains whether the people justify the means. If you ask me we should all be wary of handing out our biometric data i wonder if the convenience outweighs the potential risks research is already working on socalled cancelable biometrics here the biometric data is encrypted before its stored in a nutshell this means that not my actual face is thought but a digitally altered version if anyone has the system i can delete my data and create a new biometric password that sounds pretty good and there are even more options like behavioral biometrics here smartphones and wearables analyze how we type or the way you walk for example. Theres a software that captures how fast we walk the length of our steps and our Head Movement and uses this data to create a Movement Profile by which it authenticates us the smartphone can then communicate with a gate for example and unlock it when we approach. But if your movement doesnt match the profile the door will remain locked simple behavioral sequences such as how you get your smartphone out of your pocket can be enough to identify you. Tying this technology into everyday movements can be very convenient because you wouldnt have to do anything to authenticate yourself if. The software can tap into your smartphones and wearables sensors. Then it calculates a trust level based on your behavior. This means it assesses the odds that its really you using the device and not some stranger. I did 5. Vietnam digital this behavioral system is that the other party does not actually need to say your Movement Profile. Or for you this data is only registered by your smartphone thats where the trust score is calculated if and only 3 scores shared with the Service Providers will pass both a service. This means your phone alone registers your movements no sensitive private data is saved on a cloud or shared with a Service Provider that makes this message particularly secure and. Put an end to the big problem we currently have with big password files and leaked by metrical data that will cyber criminals are selling the states online by using behavioral profiles this problem would disappear overnight. Behavioral Security Technology and monte factor authentication are very secure as a rule of thumb the more elaborate the security method and senses the better but so far hackers have always managed to create by a measurable Security Systems and allow conditions facial recognition fingerprint scanners palm then recognition nothing is 100 percent safe which doesnt mean we should be going back to passwords because these also get stolen plus many people think 2 factor authentication is a hassle and thats that we should think carefully about if we want to use by a measurable passwords at all and which companies we trust with this Sensitive Information what do you think things like using a fingerprint for Online Banking a great idea or pretty reckless that has no he it was all for me by by.
