The possibility of a skimmer or data modifier.
Ie, I add a logger to your sensor, get all of your data, then make a sensor that translates my fingerprint to look like your fingerprint (or just always sends your fingerprint)
- chinathrow 11y agoWhy the need for a logger/skimmer? Touch ID has been proven to be vulnerable to fingerprint clones for years. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HM8b8d8kSNQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HM8b8d8kSNQ Edit: Yes, not broken but also not 100% secure.
- evan_ 11y agoWhy make it easier?
- chinathrow 11y agoIt _is_ easy if you have the fingerprint of someone.
- MCRed 11y agoThat's not broken.
- dsp1234 11y agoWhat threat model do you work under that an attacker would have physical access to the device long enough to replace an entire sensor, but would not have the resources to just take your fingerprints off the physical device?
- rasz_pl 11y agoyou mean like taking a photocopy of your finger, licking it, sticking to fingerprint reader and getting a perfect bypass because biometrics is a JOKE and marketing bullet point?
