Authenticating patients for important drugs or for Online Banking month smartphones. Even systems that look under your skin so to speak such as infrared scanners that are used in vein matching oxygen poor blood in phoenix absorbs more in from around tissue so that vein patterns can be matched. Scientists are currently developing technology that can recognize a person on the basis of their 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 christoph minor to find out if teachers Internet Technologies and systems at a part of them based Research Institute was more secure of as a possible words or biometrics. Think up look is that we should be using your fingerprint to log in its obviously more convenient than you just put your finger on the reader are identified and then youre in. Thats much easier than typing a password the last words are often we get hacked theyre a little out of date of what Password Protected systems are easy to implement thats probably why theyre so common. That. For years thats a cost issue mirrors and so on the most senses i can use to scan a fingerprint or face the more accurately i can capture someones biometric profile as a for. The security of this Technology Depends on how well its implemented and so if there are enough senses this is more secure than passwords to far less. Solution finger up talk Iris Recognition fingerprint scans and facial recognition similar in the sense that the old check for a single constant biometric feature or. Which the system recognizes me for 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 me. 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. So biometric identification is convenient but is our personal data Safe Companies using this tech have to ensure that biometric Data Security is stored and encrypted ideally and user devices and not if some clout just makes it hard of a 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 possible databases have also been compromised beyond large scale hacks thats also a risk of individuals 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 guessing this cant happen with biometric identification tag biometrics are convenient and save users from having to remember passwords. But unlike past. 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 Ms 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 an 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 biometric security features the latest apple and google is not was for example that 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 upload them onto software criminals etc in the place uploaded images all over the you can pick up the. Security system crosses your cameras your system picks it up so its 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 tech some say this goes too far people like ed 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 van it had already captured my data several times over and i felt like an invasion of my privacy 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 ends 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 researchers are already working on a socalled cancelable biometrics here the by measuring 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 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 to walk the length of our steps and ahead movement and uses this data to create a Movement Profile by which it authenticates us the smartphone can communicate with a gate for example and unlock it on the 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 your. Time this technology into everyday movements can be very convenient because you wouldnt have to do anything to authenticate yourself from. 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. Vietnam to join this behavioral system is that the other party does not actually need to save you. Movement profile. Because of you this data is only registered by your smartphone thats where the trust and stories calculated you and only 3 scores shared with the Service Provider passed at that. Service live. This means your phone alone registers your movements no sensitive private data is safe from a cloud or shared with a Service Provider that makes this method particularly secure. Put an end to the big problem we currently have leaked deposit files and leaked by metrical data cyber criminals are selling the state or online by using behavioral profiles this problem would disappear overnight behavioral Security Technology and multi factor authentication are very secure as a rule of thumb the more elaborate the security method and sensors the better but so far hackers have always managed to crack biometric with Security Systems under 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 not that we should think carefully about if we want to use by a measurable password at all and which companies we trust with this Sensitive Information what do you think are things like using a fingerprint for Online Banking a great idea or pretty reckless let us know here as well for me bye bye.
