Everything is always a trade off. Finger prints offer considerable convenience, especially when they work in tandem with something like a secure HSM.
For example, on an iPhone 5s and beyond, the fingerprint doesn't decrypt the phone, it unlocks the secure enclave which decrypts the phone.
- newman314 11y agoI suggest that you read this article on identity, authn & authz. https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc512578.aspx https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc512578.aspx Also, AFAIK, you cannot be compelled at this point to provide a PIN/password (short of the rubber hose) but someone can just use your finger to unlock a phone. Yes, tradeoffs but the convenience factor is not worth it IMO.
