Just Realized : Face recognition unlock : Biggest Security Scare
- Case 1 : Imagine crossing security check or border crossing. Guards just take your phone and point it to you : UNLOCKED . No need to resis to give passwd
- Case 2 : drug the activist and point unconscious victim ! Voila !
- Case 3 : Steal the phone, and change the cover and flash it in front of the real owner !
could go on and on ...
- jayess 9y agoNot sure why you're being downvoted.
- djrogers 9y agoCase 1 and 2 are covered with FaceID - you have to be actively looking at the phone, drugged/eyes closed/looking away/etc. won't cut it.
- DaiPlusPlus 9y agoCase 1: "Look at the phone straight-ahead with your eyes or we'll beat you with the rubber-hose again" Case 2: Hold open the eyelids with tape. Even if the eyes have rolled-back in their sockets they can be re-positioned with some manual adjustment enough to get the system to work.
- jamiek88 9y agoCase3: Give me you password or I beat you again. How is this different?
- billhathaway 9y agoIsn't Case 1 an attack on every possible method?
- smileysteve 9y ago> drugged eyes won't cut it. This seems extremely inconvenient for binge drinkers* that need to Uber home or call a friend. *or light drug users
- aoeuasdf1 9y agoYou can always back up to your password (at least, with TouchID).
- vermontdevil 9y agoFor case 2 - I believe your eyes need to be open for this to work. For case 1 - you can disable faceID prior to crossing borders.
