As such a hacker could still acquire this data and send it to the server. It would require a few more steps (the hacker would need a program to send the data in place of the legitimate system) but that’s more of a minor annoyance like DRM (which only hurts those of us wanting to go the legal route). The alternative data would likely be a lot more complex slowing or preventing brute force tactics (especially if there’s a delay or lock in the event of repeated failed attempts). There’s a lot of pictures on the net which could potentially reveal data (especially facial data) for individuals (especially famous ones). Perhaps some sort of biofield (weak EMF’s generated by the body) recognition could mitigate this but I’ve not done any real research on the subject myself (as in I don’t really know how viable a biofield is but am just giving an example).

It could be used at point of sale to password protect credit card purchases. bank identification… etc.
It would be a second layer that is not phone dependent, or vulnerable.
If lost or stolen it gets canceled.

Hi Lestat87

Great question, I am no expert in this issue, but if you can imagine a face security recognition software, which will be able to do multiple shots, while you’re turning your head slowly,… then it would leave the software with many special unique facial features. Overall It would leave a face reconation system that would be harder to fool. :)

Mainly how it would be able to tell the difference between a person and a high quality photo of them. With fingerprints scanners they can implement temp sensors so if its a pic or someone cut their finger off then it won’t work. Personally I think facial with finger is the way to go but the cost is also significantly higher.

Hi equestrian_colt
Yes fingerprint scanners is basically okay, but not bulletproof unortunately,.. and as you indicate,… and as Steven writes, then we well see in the future that a singel password, will or could contain , face recognition- fingerprint and a personal pin code, to unlock e.g. your bank or pc.

However they need to fine tune what the actual scanner can read like body heat or maybe even a pulse so it can’t be tricked by a picture or copy of a finger print.

Good to hear from you as always, Legend :)

Did you hear Dashlane recently did a study on password policy strength around the web? Might be worth checking out, if you’re interested.

They should always, without any doubt bear any economic consequences that an e.g. spear attack, can inflict . That may forced those who are sloppy regarding their overall security to tighten up there data defence/policy. We as a customer, or user on the net, should have access to a form of rating system, to see how well a certain company protect your personal information or ID. On the other hand, then we have as normal user of the net, a responsibility to protect our computers with a decent antimalware system with intelligent use of passwords. And for god sake don’t use passwords as your son or mothers name, or the word Password, as I have seen on some systems. :-))
