Wait until someone manages to create an image (white noise) that's a hash collision for anything in that database. And then starts spamming random strangers via airdrop.
Enjoy explaining why your mugshot and arrest record had these charges attached to it!
(Actually, in this case the prosecution would probably use the other pictures on the phone that were not detected by the scanning tool as a way to get a guilty plea deal!)
- FabHK 5y agoIt would have to be a number of pictures that are flagged, and after that threshold is exceeded, they (more precisely, their "visual derivative") are reviewed by a human. So, no mugshot and no arrest record, even if you choose to accept any number of pictures sent from random strangers via airdrop.
- GuB-42 5y agoAssuming it is possible (I think it is), there is a manual verification process if you have a match. And obviously, the white noise will be rejected, like all pictures that do not look remotely like the original. But it can be a form of denial of service: saturate the system with hash collisions so that people can't keep up.
