How is retina scan any safer than a password, an RSA key fob, etc? Someone can take a scan of my retina secretly (maybe not this year, but surely in the near future); someone can threaten me to take my retina scan; someone can steal a scan I uploaded somewhere; someone can steal from worldcoin the partial information about my retina that they store.
Am I missing some fundamental reasons why retina scan is better than other authentication techniques?
- drtgh 4y agoFingerprints have been successfully extracted from photographs on a number of occasions (the fingerprints of Angela Merkel made the headlines). To do a secret retina scan with other kind of technology is a matter of time. Compared to a password or an RSA key, I would say that biometrics are even dangerous.
