- davrosthedalek 9y agoTrue, but your face data is also saved on any photo anybody might have of you. It's not that hard to generate a 3d model from that.
- theshrike79 9y ago"not that hard" to whom? A state operator doing a targeted attack, most likely not. Local police? No fucking way. Random phone thief? Don't make me laugh. And people seem to actively "forget" that this is a learning model, getting better with every unlock. Just like TouchID, but better.
- saagarjha 9y agoThey talked about how masks can't fool it, so I'd expect that a 3D model won't either.
- davrosthedalek 9y agoThey (ok, a different they) also said that the iris scan can not be fooled, and how long did that last?
- jojoo 9y agothe hack will be to unlock the i-phone with a photo or some probe. i'd guess starbuck will need less than 5 days.
- UncleMeat 9y agoOf course it's easy. But it's a severe threat model. Targeted physical attacks aren't really on the list of concerns for most people. And if you are worried about it, you shouldn't be using touch or voice unlock either.
- smogcutter 9y agoTargeted physical attacks are a bigger concern than people often assume - think abusive relationships. It sounds like this in some ways is a step forward from touch id in that regard, but we'll have to see.
- gdilla 9y agoPresumable the IR sensor will know that your photo or replica is not body temperature. That said, maybe heating up your fake with a hair dryer will work?
